摘要
Superhydrophobic(SH)coatings are intended to resist a surface from corrosion and thereby increases the product life duration.It is also a promising solution to save cleaning costs and time by providing self-clean nature to the surface.This review article provides the most recent updates in designing SH surfaces and their characterizations adopted both in experimental and computational techniques.To gain a comprehensive perspective,the SH surfaces present in nature those are inspiring human beings to mimic such surfaces are introduced at the beginning of this article.Subsequently,different fabrication techniques undertaken recently to design artificial SH surfaces are briefly discussed.Recent progress in computations employed in the development of SH surfaces is then discussed.Next,the limitations in SH surfaces are addressed.Finally,perceptiveness of different strategies and their limitations are presented in the concluding remarks and outlook.Overall,this mini review article brings together and highlights the significant advancements in fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces which may surely help the early-stage researchers/scientists to plan their work accordingly.
