Bio-inspired hierarchical Boron nitride (BN) nanostructure films were grown by a CVD method and two aspects of interface engineering (i.e. morphological changes and chemical functionalization) were applied to control their wetting properties. As a result, a wide range from superhydrophilicity with contact angle (CA) of ∼5° to superhydrophobicity with CA of ∼160° was obtained. Highly-rough vertical-to-substrate...
Nonwetting (superhydrophobicity) is currently of great interest in advanced materials research for self-cleaning applications, although it has been a well-known phenomenon in nature (e.g. in lotus leaves) for a long time. Aiming at widening the potential applications of synthetic superhydrophobic films, we have used a noncatalytic chemical vapor deposition method to prepare superhydrophobic films...
