Synthesis of polyfluoroacrylate emulsion and coatings for hydrophobic and icephobic applications

Low surface energy polymeric materials always attract great interest due to their effective non-stick feature when contacting with other materials. Surface roughness in addition to the low surface energy elevates the hydrophobicity of the surface and makes it superhydrophobic. Ice adhesion and forma...
