Antireflective films with self-cleaning and abrasion-resistance properties show good performance in outdoor contaminated environments. In this paper, hollow rod-like MgF 2 sol was synthesized using the solvothermal method and 50 nm SiO 2 particle sol was prepared using the Stöber method. The SiO 2 -MgF 2 mixed sol was prepared by adjusting the zeta potential of the two sols, and then the SiO 2 -MgF 2 mixed films were coated on the glass using the dip-coating method. The maximum transmittance was 99.4% and the average transmittance was 97.5% in 400–800 nm wavelength regions. After the films were modified by n-hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMOS), the contact angle reached 150.2°, and the pencil hardness reached 4–5 H. In this way, the multi-functional antireflective films were endowed with significant practical value.

Oil/water separation through superhydrophobic sponges is an important method for oily wastewater and organic solvents pollution treatments, and developing a simple and eco-friendly approach to fabricate superhydrophobic sponge is still very urgent and valuable. In this work, Fe 3 O 4 and bio-benzoxazine based on cardanol and long-chain aliphatic amine were successively loaded on melamine sponge (MS) through a simple dip-coating method, which was thermally cured to obtain superhydrophobic MS. The as-prepared superhydrophobic MS (P15C-O/Fe 3 O 4 /MS) not only exhibited high oil absorption capacity from 65.8 to 136.2 times its own weight for various oils and organic solvents, but also showed excellent recyclability with a water contact angle (WCA) of about 149° after 50 absorbing-squeezing cycles and an absorption retention of more than 92% after 100 cycles. Moreover, P15C-O/Fe 3 O 4 /MS also possessed outstanding chemical stability, whose WCA almost kept unchanged after touching with strong acid (pH = 1) and alkali (pH = 13) as well as NaCl solutions for 48 h. The outstanding recyclability and stability of P15C-O/Fe 3 O 4 /MS were from the stability of polybenzoxazine and strong adhesion between the coating and sponge, due to the formation of coordination interactions between Fe 3+ and N, O atoms as well as hydrogen bonds between polybenzoxazine and sponge. In addition, P15C-O/Fe 3 O 4 /MS could be used for continuous oil-water separation and driven remotely by a magnetic force. These advantages make P15C-O/Fe 3 O 4 /MS a potential candidate for large-area oil-spill cleanup and oily wastewater treatment, especially under some dangerous conditions.

Superhydrophobic polyurethanes offer robust hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance. However, it is essential to consider the durability and environmental constraints associated with these materials. This study prepared a bio-based superhydrophobic polyurethane coating film using epoxidized soybean oil, superhydrophobically modified silica nanoparticles, and OH–PDMS–OH as surface modifiers. The coating film exhibited sustained super-hydrophobicity and an excellent antifouling effect for pu-erh tea and edible oils, among other substances, after 14 days of immersion in solutions with different pH values, 28 days of exposure to air, and 2000 abrasion cycles. This finding can be applied to the development of daily indoor and outdoor antifouling protective coatings and provides a new method for the preparation of green and durable superhydrophobic antifouling coating films.

In this study, a facile and detailed strategy to fabricate superhydrophobic aluminum surfaces with controllable adhesion by femtosecond laser ablation is presented. The influences of key femtosecond laser processing parameters including the scanning speed, laser power and interval on the wetting properties of the laser-ablated surfaces are investigated. It is demonstrated that the adhesion between water and superhydrophobic surface can be effectively tuned from extremely low adhesion to high adhesion by adjusting laser processing parameters. At the same time, the mechanism is discussed for the changes of the wetting behaviors of the laser-ablated surfaces. These superhydrophobic surfaces with tunable adhesion have many potential applications, such as self-cleaning surface, oil–water separation, anti-icing surface and liquid transportation.

Nowadays, it has become an imminent challenge of developing a robust and efficient oil/organic solvent absorbing/releasing along with oil–water separating material. Herein, a simple and environment-friendly one-step immersion method is developed for fabricating superhydrophobic carbon felts with extraordinary properties. The as-prepared superhydrophobic carbon felts reveal outstanding durability and stability even exposed to various harsh environments, such as acid, base, salt, organic solvent, and UV light for quite long time. The superhydrophobic carbon felts exhibit excellent fire resistance, and the materials can stand at least 5 times of ethanol-soaking and burning without marked influencing on the superhydrophobicity. Meanwhile, the resultant materials reveal outstanding oil adsorption and oil–water separation performance. The superhydrophobic carbon felt can still absorb 7 times its own mass of cooking oil even after 10 extrusion cycles. Moreover, the oil–water separation efficiency can still reach 98.85% after 10 times of separation. Consequently, the materials can be used in oil/organic solvent collection and oil–water separation successfully. Therefore, the simple, environment-friendly, cost-effective fabrication method together with the extraordinary durability and stability, excellent and efficient performance will find its potential applications in industrial production and environmental remediation. Graphical abstract A simple and environment-friendly one-step immersion method for fabricating superhydrophobic carbon felts is developed. The as-prepared superhydrophobic carbon felts reveal excellent fire resistance along with extraordinary durability and stability upon various harsh environments. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic carbon felts exhibit outstanding oil/organic solvent adsorption/releasing and oil–water separation performance.

In this work, clinochrysotile-like magnesium silicate nanotubes (MS-TNs) were fabricated by a hydrothermal method and then modified with dodecyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS) for the first time to act as a superhydrophobic material (MS-TNs/DTMS), whilst the MS-TNs was used as a nanocontainer to load a corrosion inhibitor 2-mercaptabenzimidazole (2-MBI). Taking the advantage of epoxy resin as a coating matrix, the AZ31B Mg alloy substrate was coated successfully by MS-TNs(2-MBI) as the first layer (for self-healing anti-corrosion) and superhydrophobic MS-TNs/DTMS as the second layer (for superhydrophobicity and anti-corrosion). The wettability, functionality and physicochemical stability of the superhydrophobic surface as well as the anti-corrosion performances of the dual-function coatings were systematically investigated by characterization, testing and electrochemical measurements. The as-prepared dual function coating with water contact angle at about 155° and sliding angle at circa 5° not only showed robust mechanical stability and chemical durability, but also exhibited substantial improvement of anti-corrosion property for protection of AZ31B Mg in a long run. The corrosion current density decreased from 8.33 × 10 −4 A·cm −2 of bare Mg to 8.12 × 10 −8 A·cm −2 of the coated sample. Furthermore, MS-TNs/DTMS was applicable to various kinds of substrates (e.g., copper mesh, sponge, glass slide, cloth, A4 typing paper) and showed an excellent water repellency, demonstrating its potential usage in fabrication of superhydrophobic surface as a low-cost and environmentally-benign material.

SiC was modified by fluorine-containing organic substance 1H,1H,2H,2H-trifluoro-noctyltriethoxysilane (FAS) to change its hydrophilicity from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic nanoparticles, and the optimum conditions for hydrophobicity were effectively explored. Then, different content of fluorine-modified SiC (F–SiC) nanoparticles were added to the epoxy resin (EP) matrix to prepare composite coating samples. The results showed that the surface of SiC was modified by FAS to show superhydrophobicity, and the dispersion in EP was significantly improved. After adding F–SiC, the hydrophobicity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating were significantly improved. In addition, the corrosion resistance of the composite coating containing different contents of F–SiC was analyzed through electrochemical and salt spray tests. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of the coating was the best when the addition amount was 3 wt %. In general, the composite coating with 3 wt % F–SiC had the best overall performance. Compared with the EP coating, the water contact angle of 3 wt % F–SiC/EP composite coating was increased by 62.9%, the friction coefficient was reduced by 73.5%, and the corrosion current was reduced by three orders of magnitude. This study provides a new idea for the development of ultra-wear-resistant and anti-fouling heavy-duty coatings.Keywords:superhydrophobic;nanoparticles;composite coating;friction;corrosion

The clean-up of oil spills is a worldwide challenge for the prevention of serious environmental pollution. Therefore, it is imperative to develop materials for oil-spill cleanup that have high absorption/separation capacity, good selectivity, controlled collection and easy recyclability. Here, we present a facile and low-cost approach for fabricating magnetic, durable, and superhydrophobic carbon sponges. The resultant carbon sponges feature fast magnetic response, excellent superhydrophobicity/superoleophilicity, high chemical resistance, environmental stability and mechanical durability, as well as high oil/water separation efficiency and oil absorbency. More importantly, given the magnetically controllable property endowed by magnetic particles to superhydrophobic carbon sponges, which act as magnetically controlled “smart absorbents”, the carbon sponges can therefore controllably and selectively adsorb oils from oil-water mixtures. Thus, our strategy may open up a new avenue for developing magnetic responsive intelligent oil sorbent materials suitable for practical applications in the fields of water remediation, oil spill clean-up and oil recovery.

A major challenge in oil/water separation is the processing of surfactant-stabilized emulsions from the water medium. One of the feasible schemes of emulsion separation is the porous melamine sponge coupled with functional particles. Here, we proposed a novel superhydrophobic metal–organic framework (MOF)-based sponge for water-in-oil emulsion separation. The porous melamine sponge was combined with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-coated hydrophobic SiO2 and UiO66-OSiR particles were prepared for demulsification via the one-step dipping method for the first time. The PDMS@SiO2@UiO66-OSiR sponge revealed excellent superhydrophobicity at a water contact angle of 160.7° and superlipophilicity at an oil contact angle of 0°. Compared with the pristine melamine sponge, the size-controllable PDMS@SiO2@UiO66-OSiR sponge could separate stabilized water-in-oil emulsions with ultrahigh separation efficiency (>98.64%) and high flux (e.g., 970 L·m–2·h–1). Meanwhile, the PDMS@SiO2@UiO66-OSiR sponge exhibited superior durability and mechanical reusability. Under harsh conditions such as strong acid and alkali, organic solvent corrosion, etc., all water contact angles of the PDMS@SiO2@UiO66-OSiR sponge were over 152°. Furthermore, the stress decreased by 5% when the sponge was subjected to 10 loading/unloading compression cycles at a constant strain of 60%. These results demonstrate that the PDMS@SiO2@UiO66-OSiR sponge can efficiently separate water-in-oil emulsions through its adjustable porous structure coupled with demulsification and hydrophobic particles. This study provides a step forward in developing a feasible strategy for the MOF-based sponge for emulsion separation.

The methods to modify commercially available sponge used for recovering spilled oil and organic solvent from water usually possess the drawbacks of high cost, complicated fabrication procedures and secondary pollution. Herein, a superhydrophobic magnetic melamine sponge (MS) was fabricated via in situ synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 particles and dip coating of Candelilla wax (CW). The facile modification process made a transition of MS from amphipathic nonmagnetic sponge to superhydrophobic magnetic sponge. Owning to the high porosity of MS, hierarchical microstructures of Fe 3 O 4 particles and hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain of CW, the modified MS possesses low bulk density (0.0173 g/mL), excellent absorption capacity (55–104 g/g), remote controllability, high water contact angle (WCA, 158.8°), good hydrophobicity maintenance and durability. The obtained sponge also has the abilities to continuously absorb and collect light oil from water surface assisted by a vacuum pump and to separate heavy oil under water as a filter driven by liquid weight. More importantly, our modification strategy may find a new way to prepare superhydrophobic sponge by extending the coating reagent to a series of plant waxes.

In this work, a simple method, including electrodeposition and chemical modification, for fabrication of a superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating on steel substrate is reported. The surface morphology of this coating showed concave structure, and the contact angles of water and glycerol on this coating surface were about 153.57° and 149.32°, respectively. In addition, the water droplet was easy to roll on this coating surface, and the sliding angle was smaller than 10°. The contact angle of the water/ethanol droplet with different surface tension, from 56 to 36 mN m−1, was also >130° on this coating surface, indicating this as superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating surface with good lyophobicity. Moreover, this coating surface had excellent non-sticking property for the water droplet under a certain external pressure, self-cleaning property and long-term stability.

A highly anticorrosion and self-cleaning superhydrophobic surface with hierarchical flowerlike structures fabricated on AZ91D magnesium alloy is reported in this work. The hierarchical micro/nanostructures were created through electrodeposition of Ni–Co alloy coating. Followed by modification of stearic acid, a superhydrophobic surface with a water contact angle as high as 167.3 ± 1.3° and an ultra-low sliding angle of about 1° was achieved. The anticorrosion performance of the superhydrophobic surface was studied by using a combination of potentiodynamic polarization and EIS in neutral 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions. The superhydrophobic surface can present an excellent anticorrosion effect with the inhibition efficiency of 99.99% to the bare magnesium alloy and its corrosion rate being 0.06% of that of bare magnesium alloy. The resulting superhydrophobic surface showed excellent superhydrophobicity in a wide range of pH values from 1 to 14. Besides, the as-prepared superhydrophobic surface possessed good chemical stability and self-cleaning effect. It's believed that the highly anticorrosion and self-cleaning superhydrophobic surface can efficiently protect magnesium alloy from corrosion and expand its application scope.
