Investigating the orientation of short carbon fibers on the surface hydrophobicity by using flocking electrostatic method

A textile engineering methodology, specifically the flocking electrostatic technique, was harnessed to fabricate superhydrophobic coatings utilizing diverse fibers for engineering applications. This study encompassed the application of a hydrophobic coating onto the epoxy resin substrate by employing short carbon fibers. Afterward, surface modification with boron nitride nanoparticles and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been done to achieve superhydrophobic characteristics. The initial water contact angle stood at ۹۴.۵ degrees, which escalated to ۱۵۳.۹ degrees after PDMS treatment, and further elevated to ۱۶۰ degrees post-incorporation of boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles.
