Fabrication of Stable,Transparent and Superhydrophobic nanocomposite With PolymethylStyrene Functionalized Carbon nanotubes

Stable, transparent and superhydrophobic carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanocomposite films were fabricated by one-step sprary casting process using the 4-Methylstyrenefunctionalized CNTs, which were prepared by living freeradical polymerization. Superhydrophobic CNTs have been fabricated usingfunctionalized CNTs, such as covalent attachment [1] and noncovalent adsorption or wrapping of various long-chain hydrophobic molecules [2] on the surface of CNTs, which canreduce the surface energy of the CNT surface.
