Technological breakthroughs in ultra-hydrophobic materials.

A recent study on ultra-hydrophobic materials, developed by the University of Alto in Finland and the University of Electronic Science and Technology in China, was recently published in the world's leading journal Nature.
University of Alto said in a notice that the super-hydrophobic material surface "drop water does not touch", in the field of antibacterial coatings has a very high application value, can effectively inhibit bacteria, pathogens attached to its surface.
the previously developed material has some key defects, that is, its surface is prone to scratches, cuts, dents and other ills

. Once the surface of the super-hydrophobic material is damaged, the damaged area adheres to the liquid, thus losing the super-hydrophobic properties.
this end, Finland has collaborated with researchers in China to develop an ultra-hydrophobic material available for use in metals, glass, ceramics and other surfaces. The researchers point out that armor with nanoc honeycomb structures based on different sizes, shapes and materials can be applied to many different material changes, which gives us more room to create more durable waterproof materials for design and preparation.
ultra-hydrophobic materials have great potential in the field of photovoltaics, if the photovoltaic panels are attached to moisture and pollutants, it will hinder the absorption of sunlight, adversely affecting power production. Ultra-hydrophobic glass surfaces enable solar panels to maintain long-lasting production efficiency, which are typically installed on roofs or other hard-to-reach locations, while ultra-hydrophobic coatings provide good self-cleaning.
researchers say they will further deepen research projects, promote commercialization and broaden applications.
