Adjective
superhydrophobic (comparative more superhydrophobic, superlative most superhydrophobic)
Very hydrophobic; used especially to describe materials having surfaces that are very difficult to wet, and have a water contact angle greater than 150°
Although the intrinsic contact angle of graphite is around 90°, the contact angles of most as-synthesized CNT arrays are over 160°, exhibiting a superhydrophobic property. Source: Internet
Also, an efficient routine has been reported for making polyethylene superhydrophobic and thus self-cleaning. citation —99% of dirt absorbed on such surface is easily washed away. Source: Internet
For example, a simple routine of coating cotton fabric with silica citation or titania citation particles by sol-gel technique has been reported, which protects the fabric from UV light and makes it superhydrophobic. Source: Internet
Potential applications Active recent research on superhydrophobic materials might eventually lead to industrial applications. Source: Internet
