Sprayed superamphiphobic coatings on copper substrate with enhanced corrosive resistance
The oil fouling and limited corrosion resistance problem severely hindered the use of copper, one of important engineering materials, in practical applications. Herein to address this problem, we fabricated a superamphiphobic coating on copper substrate by spray coating. The resulting superamphiphobic surface supports the Cassie-Baxter regime with apparent contact angles of more than 150 and low contact angle hysteresis to water and organic liquids with low surface tension. The resulting superamphiphobic surface also possesses enhanced corrosion resistance, allowing it to exhibit a more positive corrosion potential and a more negative corrosion current density than pristine copper substrate. Moreover, the surface wettability can be tuning by varying the surface composition of the coating. This study represents a key addition to functional superamphiphobic materials.
