Abstract This study is about preparing different paper substrates with chemically stable hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surface coatings through spraying a mixture of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and inorganic particles. The method is easy to implement, reproducible and requires inexpensive starting materials. Non-colored and colored types of (i) raw paper (UC), (ii) glossy coated paper (GC) and (iii) matte coated paper (MC) surfaces were selected for surface modification through the coating application. Both water-based ink (WB) and solvent-based ink (SB) formulations were used to dye substrate surfaces. Investigations including surface wetting, optical and physical properties of the coated paper substrates revealed that the coating application method proposed is a promising lacquer alternative for packaging purposes.

Highly hydrophobic and superhydrophobic materials obtained from recycled polymers represent an interesting challenge to recycle and reuse advanced performance materials after their first life. In this article, we present a simple and low-cost method to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface by employing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder in polystyrene (PS) dispersion. With respect to the literature, the superhydrophobic surface (SHS) was prepared by utilizing a spray- coating technique at room temperature, a glass substrate without any further modification or thermal treatment, and which can be applied onto a large area and on to any type of material with some degree of fine control over the wettability properties. The prepared surface showed superhydrophobic behavior with a water contact angle (CA) of 170°; furthermore, the coating was characterized with different techniques, such as a 3D confocal profilometer, to measure the average roughness of the coating, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize the surface morphology. In addition, the durability of SH coating was investigated by a long-water impact test (raining test), thermal treatment at high temperature, an abrasion test, and in acidic and alkaline environments. The present study may suggest an easy and scalable method to produce SHS PS/PTFE films that may find implementation in various fields.

Robust superhydrophobic surfaces are fabricated on different substrates by a scalable spray coating process. The developed superhydrophobic surface consists of thin layers of surface functionalized silica nanoparticle (SiO2) bound to the substrate by acrylate-polyurethane (PU) binder. The influence of the SiO2/PU ratio on the superhydrophobicity, and the robustness of the developed surface, is systematically analyzed. The optimized SiO2/PU ratio for prepared superhydrophobic surfaces is obtained between 0.9 and 1.2. The mechanism which yields superhydrophobicity to the surface is deduced for the first time with the help of scanning electron microscopy and profilometer. The effect of mechanical abrasion on the surface roughness and superhydrophobicity are analyzed by using profilometer and contact angle measurement, respectively. Finally, it is concluded that the binder plays a key role in controlling the surface roughness and superhydrophobicity through the capillary mechanism. Additionally, the reason for the reduction in performance is also discussed with respect to the morphology variation.

Maintenance of ageing military aircraft structures encompasses both engineering and scientific management. In support of this, surface modification and repair methods are used on an opportunity basis to extend the life of aircraft in terms of fatigue and safety. Often, certain surface modification technologies have proved to be both cost effective and amenable for safe application. Some candidate technologies include shot peening, cold spray, deep surface rolling, friction stir welding, laser shock peening, and laser cladding. Whilst some technologies have been successfully applied to Australian Defence Force (ADF) aircraft in the past, some newer technologies are also being considered. The supersonic particle deposition (SPD) technology also known as cold spray coating has been recently approved for application on a helicopter gear box. Another technology of significance to ADF application is Laser Cladding (LC) technology. This paper briefly summarises the research work on these technologies at DSTO and discusses potential applications for aircraft components in the near future. It also provides an analysis of technologies and their potential advantages and disadvantages.
