With the characterization using water contact angle (WCA) tester, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and simultaneous thermal analysis, the as-prepared coating displayed a tremendous WCA of 154.8±1°, sliding angle (SA) about 3.5° and stable self-cleaning property range from -10 to 80 ℃. It was also found that the synergistic effect of surface micro-nano hierarchical structure and chemical hydrophobicity, stability from matrix had made contributions to the superhydrophobicity and excellent heat resistance up to 300 ℃.展开更多
