Abstract
Improvement of the robustness of superhydrophobic surface is crucial for the purpose of achieving commercial applications of these surfaces in such various areas as self-cleaning,water repellency and corrosion resistance.We have investigated a fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)/silica(SiO2)composite polymer coating on wooden substrates with super repellency toward water,low sliding angles,low contact angle hysteresis,and relatively better mechanical robustness.
