Controllable Dianthus caryophyllus-like superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic hierarchical structure based on self-congregated nanowires for corrosion inhibition and biofouling mitigation
Dianthus caryophyllus-like SHPL/SHPB surfaces were successfully prepared. The SHPL surface can’t protect the substrates from corrosion and biofouling. The SHPB surface exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition and biofouling mitigation. The SHPB surface exhibits self-cleaning ability and thermal stability. The SHPB surface can retain its superhydrophobicity even under water droplets of 90 °C.
