AI Article Synopsis
- A renewable pattern combining superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic properties is created using octadecyltrimethoxysilane on a titanium dioxide surface.
- The process involves self-assembly and calcination of boehmite particles to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3) overlayers that measure at least 50 micrometers.
- The resulting Al2O3 layer serves both as a superhydrophobic barrier and a UV-blocking protection for the underlying TiO2 surface.
Article Abstract
A renewable superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic pattern with a minimum dimension of 50 microm is prepared from octadecyltrimethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer-covered superhydrophobic Al2O3 overlayers on a superhydrophilic TiO2 surface via self-assembly and calcination of boehmite (AlOOH.nH2O) particles. The resulting Al2O3 layer plays dual roles as a superhydrophobic layer and as a UV-blocking layer for the underlying TiO2.
