In this study, we fabricated the superhydrophobic and super-water-repellent surface with the micro/nano scale structures using simple conventional silicon wet-etching technique and the black silicon method by deep reactive ion etching. These fabrication methods are simple but very effective. Also we reported the droplet impact experimental results on the micro/nano-scaled surface. There are two representative impact behaviors as "rebound" and "fragmentation". We found the transition Weber number between "rebound" and "fragmentation" statements, experimentally. Additionally, we concerned about the dimensionless spreading diameters for our super-water-repellent surface. The novel characterization method was introduced for analysis including the "fragmentation" region. As a result, our super-water-repellent surface with the micro/nano-scaled structures shows the different impact behaviors compared with a reference smooth surface, by some meaningful experiments.

Studies on plants such as lotus leaf suggested that dual-scale structure could contribute to super-hydrophobicity. We introduced super-hydrophobicity onto poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fabric with dual-scale structure by assembling $TiO_2$ nano sol. PET fabric was treated with $TiO_2$ sol, water-repellent agent using various parameters such as particle size, concentration. Morphological changes by particle size were observed using field emmission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and AFM measurement, contact angle measurement equipment. The contact angle of water was about 138.5$^{\circ}$, 125.8$^{\circ}$, 125.5$^{\circ}$ and 108.9$^{\circ}$ for PET fabric coated with 60.2nm, 120.1nm, 200nm and 410.5nm $TiO_2$ particles, compared with about 111.5$^{\circ}$ for PET fabric coated with water repellent. When we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 120.1nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the contact angle of water was about 132.5$^{\circ}$. And we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 200nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the contact angle of water was about 141.8$^{\circ}$. Also we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 410.5nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the best super-hydrophobicity was obtained. In this paper, we fabricated various surface structures to the water-repellent surfaces by using four types of $TiO_2$ nano-particles, and we found that the nanoscale structure was very important for the super-hydrophobicity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate failure characteristic and mechanism of four commercial water-repellent coatings for elevated temperature machinery applications. Method: Thermal degradation was performed for up to 64 thermal cycles. 1 cycle consists of 15 minute holding at 523K under 300rpm revolution and 15 minute-natural cooling. Contact angle was measured and microstructure of the coating layer was observed by using a scanning electron microscope. Results: Four kinds of commercial repellent coating showed hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic property implying that all coatings are suitable for room temperature application. Contact angle of three kinds of commercial coatings decreased rapidly after thermal exposure, while only one specimen having hydrophobic surface showed extremely slow degradation. Conclusion: Observed decrease in contact angle of the coatings were attributed to formation of macro-sized pores and disappearance of micro-protrusion during thermal exposure. Optimum water-repellent coating needs to be selected under the consideration of initial contact angle as sell as service temperature.

Super-hydrophobic surfaces showed that contact angle of water was higher than 140 degrees. That surface could be made several methods such as Carbon nano tubes grown vertically, PDMS asperities arrays, hydrophobic fractal surfaces, and self assembled monolayers coated by CVD and so on. However, we fabricated super-hydrophobic surfaces with plasma treatments which were very cost efficient processes. Their surfaces were characterized by static contact angles, advancing, receding, and stability against UV irradiation. Optimal surfaces showed static contact angles were higher than 150 degrees. Super-hydrophobic property was remained after UV irradiation for one week.

Wettability of solid surfaces with liquids is governed by the chemical properties and the microstructure of the surfaces. We report on the preparation of liquid-repellent surfaces using surface-attached monolayers of perfluorinated polymer molecules on porous silica substrates. A covalent attachment of the polymer molecules to the substrate is achieved by generation of the polymer chains through starting a surface-initiated radical-chain polymerization of a fluorinated monomer. To this, self-assembled monolayers of azo initiators are attached to silica substrates, which are used to kick off the polymerization reaction in situ. The growth of the fluorinated polymer films and the characterization of the obtained surfaces by surface plasmon spectroscopy, XPS, and contact angle measurements is described. It is shown that perfluorinated polymer films can be grown with controlled thicknesses on flat and even on porous silica surfaces, essentially without changing the surface roughness. The combination of the low surface energy coating and the surface porosity allows generation of materials which are both water and oil repellent.

Any place where exercise is common, such as a club, sports hall, or school, is considered a place for teaching sports. When doing sports, a very safe environment for sports should be chosen. The athlete should consider the safety of sports facilities and equipment, and if there is a defect, he should refrain from exercising in these places. The safety of sports facilities is very effective in creating people's sports activities, with the benefits of staying away from physical harm, enjoying sports, and having mental peace. Everyone has the right to participate in sports and recreation and to ensure that they enjoy a safe environment. The ability to manage and solve issues that may arise plays the most critical role in creating a safe environment. The quality of construction materials used for the construction of sports facilities is of great importance. In this work, the resistance and water repellency of concrete constituents for the construction of sports buildings have been investigated by nanoscience. Nano-concrete material solves the main problem of concrete surfaces, i.e., the entry of water and humidity into the structure. It also gives it a self-cleaning ability with its water repellency. Nanoparticles are placed between pores and cover the cracks, which causes roughness in the surface structure of concrete. The high roughness of the surface of the coated concrete caused its super-hydrophobicity. In hydrophobic surfaces, the higher the contact angle, the more hydrophobic the surface will be. In order to investigate the hydrophobic properties, silica nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles, and fly ash were prepared on concrete, and their properties were analyzed.

Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)과 trimethylethoxysilane (TMES)을 전구체로 사용하여 비 불소계 발수 코팅 용액을 제조하였다. 이 코팅 용액을 냉연 강판 위에 스핀 코팅하고 열 경화시켜 발수 코팅 도막을 제조 하였다. 이 과정 중 코팅 도막의 소수성에 미치는 TMES/MTMS의 몰 비 영향이 연구되었다. 코팅 도막의 소수성은 접촉각 측정, 표면 형상 분석 및 적외선 분광법을 사용하여 연구되었다. TMES/MTMS의 몰 비를 0에서 30까지 변화 시켰을 때, 코팅되지 않은 냉연강판의 접촉각은 $30^{\circ}$인 반면에 TMES/MTMS의 몰 비가 1인 경우는 접촉각이 $104^{\circ}$로 크게 증가하여 발수성이 향상되었다. 또한 TMES/MTMS의 몰 비가 10, 15, 25, 30인 경우는 각각 접촉각이 $109^{\circ}$, $114^{\circ}$, $117^{\circ}$, $144^{\circ}$로 TMES/MTMS의 몰 비가 증가할수록 냉연강판의 접촉각이 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이때 코팅 도막의 소수성은 표면 거칠기의 증가와 코팅 표면에서의 메틸 성분의 함량 증가로 인해 향상되었다. 특히 TMES/MTMS의 몰 비가 30인 경우에는 TMES의 메틸기로 인한 발수성뿐만 아니라 표면 입자의 존재로 인해 전체적인 표면 거칠기가 크게 증가하였기 때문에 $144^{\circ}$의 초발수성을 나타내었다.

Hydrophobic characteristics of high temperature metal surface were investigated by high-speed visualization of water droplet impact. An aluminum plate was used as the sample plate and the initial diameter of a water droplet was 2 mm. Transient behavior of a single droplet impinging on the surface with and without heating was captured by using a high speed camera running at 4,000 frames per second. The Leidenfrost phenomenon was demonstrated for the case of $300^{\circ}C$ surface temperature, however there was no rebounding of droplet on the cold plate due to hydrophilic nature. The experimental results show that the shape evolution of a droplet impinging on the surface varies with the Weber number, i.e. the ratio of impact inertia to capillary force. The overall water-repellent characteristics of the heated surface was very similar to that of the super hydrophobic surfaces.

친수성 및 소수성 나노실리카를 tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS)를 커플링제로 사용하여 유리 표면에 거친 스파이크 구조 형성과 반응성 hydroxyl기를 동시에 도입한 후 불소를 함유한 실란으로 2차 코팅처리하여 궁극적으로 발수성 유리 표면 형성의 최적 조건을 확립하는 연구를 수행하였다. 소수성 나노실리카인 실리카 에어로졸을 이용한 초소수 도막의 형성은 나노실리카 표면에 반응성인 -OH기가 존재하지 않아 내구성이 있는 소수성 도막을 형성할 수 없었다. 이에 반하여 친수성기를 가진 나노실리카와 가수분해된 TEOS를 포함하는 코팅액 이용하여 유리 표면을 1차 코팅한 후 2차로 trichloro-(1H,1H,2H,2H)perfluorooctylsilane(TPFOS) 용액으로 코팅하여 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 수접촉각을 가지는 초소수 표면을 제조하였으며, $1^{\circ}$ 이하의 물 슬라이딩각을 보여 초발수성도 동시에 가지고 있었다. 이에 덧붙여 친수성 나노실리카의 함량이 증가할수록 광투과도가 감소하였으며, TPFOS 용액에 의해서도 광투과도가 감소하였다. 코팅된 유리시편의 내구성 50회 문지름까지는 초소수성을 유지하였으나, 200회 문지름에서는 단지 소수성만을 유지하였다. 결론적으로 최적의 코팅액의 조건은 친수성 나노실리카의 함량이 0.3 g인 HP3 코팅액을 2회 코팅한 후 2차로 TPFOS 용액으로 코팅하는 것이었다. 이렇게 제조된 코팅액은 광투과도가 중요한 솔라셀의 표면 처리제로 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
