Fabrication of superhydrophobic 3-D braided carbon fiber fabric boat

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A novel superhydrophobic carbon fiber fabric boat was prepared by combination of macro-scale rough surface and low surface energy material treatment. The loading capacities of the boats, fabricated from the resulting superhydrophobic fabrics, were also performed. The highest loading weight, 14.80 g, was obtained by a fabric boat treated with 12.0 wt.% HFTES. The striking loading capacity of the superhydrophobic boat is attributed to the air film trapped around the fabric surface.
