Abstract

Superhydrophobic coatings and surfaces are being one of the most interesting topics in the past few decades due to the use of the surfaces for wider industrial applications. Superhydrophobic surface property can be easily produced by generating micro-nano hierarchical surface morphology covered with a thin layer of low surface energy materials. Generally, polymers, nanoparticles, or combination of both polymer and nanoparticles is used widely for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces. In this sense, nanoparticles play a vital role for the development of micro-nano hierarchical surface morphology, whereas polymer can produce the dual behavior of micro-nano hierarchical surface morphology and low surface energy layer on the surface. The combination of both polymer and nanoparticles can make the development of the required surface property easier. In this chapter, we briefly describe the role of various polymers and nanoparticles that are adopted to produce superhydrophobic surface property and their wider usage in various applications.
