Biomimetic surface coatings for atmospheric water capture prepared by dewetting of polymer films
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 08:47 authored by Stuart ThickettStuart Thickett, Neto, C, Harris, ATThe synthesis of biomimetic, micropatterned surface coatings with topographical and chemical features to capture water from a humid atmosphere is demonstrated. The coatings are prepared by dewetting thin polymer films to create materials consisting of raised hydrophilic bumps on a hydrophobic background. An enhanced rate of water condensation is measured on these surfaces under representative climatic conditions.
