Abstract

Superhydrophobic surfaces are being widely analysed, engineered, and employed for a variety of engineering applications ever since last decade because of some exceptional self-cleaning characteristics and anti-wetting behaviour. Herein we state the fabrication of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) based rewritable superhydrophobic surface coating, through synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles obtained using Sol-Gel technique. Liquid sodium silicate solution being utilized as precursor for the reaction. Surface functionalization of obtained SiO2 nanoparticles is accomplished through trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) treatment at ambient temperature. Surface functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles were added and mixed at 03 wt.% into stock solution of PVA at 70 ⁰c. Solution was coated with spray gun over glass and metallic surfaces uniformly. A prominent contact angle was attained between surfaces and water droplet that averaged about 154º for metallic surface, and 151º for glass surfaces.
