Black silicon is a superhydrophobic material, meaning it repels water. Due to water's unique surface tension properties, droplets glide across textured materials like black silicon by riding on a ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay have engineered a breakthrough material, the Dual-Sided Superhydrophobic Laser-Induced Graphene (DSLIG) evaporator, to tackle global freshwater scarcity. Utilizing both solar ...

A new hydrophobic graphene-based material developed by IITB scientists could support efforts to address fresh water crisis ...

Plasma treatment can be of benefit when creating superhydrophobic surfaces. It promotes good adhesion of the hydrophobic ...

IIT Bombay scientists develop DSLIG evaporator for efficient water desalination, addressing challenges of solar and electric ...

In contrast to superhydrophilicity, where surfaces display an extremely high affinity for water, superhydrophobic surfaces are highly non-wetting, causing water droplets to bead up and easily roll off ...
