Abstract
In this study, a combination of hydrothermal and sol-gel methods was used to prepare superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/TiO2 composite coating with good self-cleaning properties and corrosion resistance. The structural, surface roughness and wettability behavior of the PDMS/TiO2 superhydrophobic coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angles measurements. Results showed that surfaces of composite coatings possessed rough hierarchical micro/nanostructures, especially, the surface water contact angle is as high as 160° and the sliding angle is less than 2.1° when the ratio of PDMS/TiO2 was 1:5. In addition, through a series of high-temperature exposure, acid-alkali resistance, self-cleaning, and electrochemical corrosion tests, it was also found that the superhydrophobic surface with a PDMS/TiO2 ratio of 1:5 had excellent properties, and showed certain practicability in terms of anticorrosion, antipollution and durability. Therefore, it can be concluded that this kind of corrosion resistant superhydrophobic PDMS/TiO2 composite coating with simple operation, high performance and multi-scale use on metal substrates has good application prospects in harsh environments.

期刊介绍:
The material innovations on surfaces, combined with understanding and manipulation of physics and chemistry of functional surfaces and coatings, have exploded in the past decade at an incredibly rapid pace.
Superhydrophobicity, superhydrophlicity, self-cleaning, self-healing, anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, etc., have become important fundamental topics of surface science research community driven by curiosity of physics, chemistry, and biology of interaction phenomenon at surfaces and their enormous potential in practical applications. Materials having controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings are important to the manufacturing of new products for environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotechnological advances, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, and many others, and are part of the most promising technological innovations of the twenty-first century.
