Superhydrophobicity of Textured Ceramic Coating for Corrosion Protection in Marine Applications – A Brief Review

摘要

Technology for surface protection in contact with seawater has been studied. It mainly focuses on the capability of superhydrophobicity characteristic. Currently, the application of superhydrophobicity in controlling corrosion problem in the marine environment is still new. The development of superhydrophobicity on the materials surface can be achieved by designing a specific texture pattern in micro- or nanometer scale for producing high roughness surface. This review paper is mainly on the laser technology for producing superhydrophobicity characteristic of materials surface. This technique offers the most control and precision over the produced geometry.
