A Superhydrophobic Antimony Oxide Film
6 May 2008, 12:51

Categories: superhydrophobicphilic

Superhydrophobic films of antimony oxide (Sb2O3) with micro and nanoscale features have been synthesized for the first time, claim scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. The material retains its water repellent properties after several months of ambient storage and has a static contact angle of more than 150° (contact angle is the angle between the surface and the tangent of the water drop).
