Abstract

Superhydrophobic coatings are renowned for their self-cleaning and water-repellent properties, making them increasingly valuable in industrial and consumer applications. Despite their widespread adoption, further enhancement of superhydrophobic performance remains a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to enhance the superhydrophobic capabilities of a composite coating by electrodepositing a Ni-WS₂-PTFE composite coating under an applied magnetic field, notably improving its hydrophobic properties. The coupling of magnetic and electric fields induces a reorganization of the crystalline phase of nanoparticles within the plating solution, directly influencing the hydrophobicity of the composite coating. The water contact angle of the obtained Ni-WS2-PTFE composite coating reached 154°, with a minimum sliding angle of 4°. The coating also demonstrated excellent hydrophobic performance in both acid-base and weight-loss tests. After four weeks of immersion in a 3.5 % NaCl solution, the composite coating retained a corrosion resistance efficiency of 95 %. Magnetic fields play a beneficial role in the preparation of superhydrophobic coatings. While coatings produced through electrodeposition alone are not inherently superhydrophobic, the introduction of magnetic fields during the process imparts these desirable properties.

期刊介绍： Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance: A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting. B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
