Abstract
Stable superhydrophobic films with a contact angle of 151 +/- 2 degrees were prepared on zinc substrates by a simple immersion technique into a methanol solution of hydrolyzed 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane [CF3(CF2)5(CH2)2SiCl3, PFTS] for 5 days at room temperature followed by a short annealing at 130 degrees C in air for 1 h. The superhydrophobic film provides an effective corrosion-resistant coating for the zinc interface when immersed in an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (3% NaCl) for up to 29 days. The corrosion process was investigated by following the change of the water contact angle over time and by electrochemical means. The results are compared to those of unprotected zinc interfaces.
