Anti-corrosive superhydrophobic coatings fabricated by a simple dipping method

The two-step dipping technique was used to fabricate anti-corrosive fluorocarbon paint (FP)/SiO2 superhydrophobic coatings on the surfaces of aluminium alloy substrates. In order to characterise the surface microtopography, chemical element and groups, hydrophobicity, and corrosion performance of these prepared coatings, we employed a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) as well as performing...
