Machine Learning Prediction of TiO-Coating Wettability Tuned via UV Exposure.

Surfaces with extreme wettability (too low, superhydrophobic; too high, superhydrophilic) have attracted considerable attention over the past two decades. Titanium dioxide (TiO) has been one of the most popular components for generating superhydrophobic/hydrophilic coatings. Combining TiO with ethanol and a commercial fluoroacrylic copolymer dispersion, known as PMC, can produce coatings with water contact angles approaching 170°.
