Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the methods for development of a double layer ZnO-based coating through incorporation of a thin layer of low surface energy coating without any additional treatments. A binary micro-nano structure was observed on the surface topography analysis from the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) contact angle measurements on the surface, for oil droplet was 85° which is indicative of stable oleophobic properties which might contribute to the low surface energy on the coating and also relate to the surface roughness according to the randomly distributed ZnO particles. We believe that such multifunctional coatings can potentially impose many promising properties for engineering superolephobic surfaces.
