Practical application of superhydrophobic wood remain a great challenge because of their poor durability and complicated production procedures. In this work, high-wear-resistance superhydrophobic wood was prepared by a facile, alkali-driven method using SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES). The obtained wood had a contact angle (CA) of 156.6° and a sliding angle (SA) of 1.8°. It...
In this study, an efficient, facile method has been developed for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces on wood substrates using silica nanoparticles modified by VTES. The as-prepared superhydrophobic wood surface had a water contact angle of 154° and water slide angle close to 0°. Simultaneously, this superhydrophobic wood showed highly durable and robust wear resistance when having undergone a long...
