Regularities of the Formation of a Green Superhydrophobic Protective Coating on an Aluminum Alloy after Surface Modification with Stearic Acid Solutions

It has been shown that solutions of stearic acid in a dimethyl sulfoxide–water binary mixture allow superhydrophobic protective coatings to be created on an aluminum alloy surface with a minimum impact on the environment. The superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning ability of the coating that we devel...

description It has been shown that solutions of stearic acid in a dimethyl sulfoxide–water binary mixture allow superhydrophobic protective coatings to be created on an aluminum alloy surface with a minimum impact on the environment.
