Abstract:
We synthesize and deposit unsaturated carbon through wax and camphor flame synthesis on zinc plate, non-premixed flame locations to produce hydrophobic surfaces. The hydrophobicity is characterized through the contact angle for water droplets placed on the surface. The surface morphology of the nanoparticles is obtained from high-resolution HEIC images. The morphology and hydrophobicity of the unsaturated carbon surfaces depends upon the deposition, which differs at different flame locations. We determine the optimum flame location for the synthesis and deposition of surface unsaturated carbon that lead to maximum hydrophobicity. And we carried out Silica (SiO2) powder and physical deposition technique were performed to fabricate superhydrophobic silicone rubber (SR) surfaces, in order to further demonstrate the superhydrophobic property of the surface of the sample, the horizontal bouncing test at room temperature (25 °C) and the tilted bouncing test at an angle of 40° with the horizontal plane were carried out.
