Super-Hydrophobic Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Coatings for Stainless Steel
Francesco De Nicola, Paola Castrucci, Manuela Scarselli +3
We have taken advantage of the native surface roughness and the iron content of AISI 316 stainless steel to direct grow multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) random networks by chem…

Exploiting the Hierarchical Morphology of Single-Walled and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Films for Highly Hydrophobic Coatings
Francesco De Nicola, Paola Castrucci, Manuela Scarselli +3
Self-assembled hierarchical solid surfaces are very interesting for wetting phenomena, as observed in a variety of natural and artificial surfaces. Here, we report single-walled (S…
