Preparation strategy and evaluation method of durable superhydrophobic rubber composites.

Superhydrophobic rubber composites have broad application prospects in national defense, industrial and agricultural production and daily life due to their special surface wettability. However, its poor durability at present seriously limits its practical application. Microstructure and low surface energy substances are the decisive factors to realize superhydrophobic surface. Therefore, three strategies to improve the durability of superhydrophobic surface were put forward, including improving the mechanical strength of microstructure, enhancing the adhesion between coating and substrate, and constructing self-repairing surface. On this basis, the preparation techniques of durable superhydrophobic rubber composites were summarized, and then the evaluation methods of durability of superhydrophobic rubber composites were introduced in detail from mechanical durability and chemical durability.
