Methods for tuning the color of the porous metal oxide layer and for color matching surfaces of different types of metal substrates are described. | 2015-12-24 |
20150368824 | WATER AND OIL ULTRA-REPELLENT STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - Provided are a superhydrophobic/superoleophobic structure and a method of manufacturing the superhydrophobic/superoleophobic structure. The superhydrophobic/superoleophobic structure includes: a roughened primary structure formed on a surface of a metal base; nanopores formed in the roughened primary structure; and a hydrophobic/oleophobic layer formed on a surface of the roughened primary structure. The superhydrophobic/superoleophobic structure makes a large contact angle and a small sliding angle with both aqueous solutions and oily solutions, thereby having a high degree of superhydrophobicity/superoleophobicity. In addition, the superhydrophobic/superoleophobic structure may be formed on large or curved structural objects by the manufacturing method without using a special device. | 2015-12-24 |
