Abstract:In this study, a novel superhydrophobic coating consisting of SiC nanowires was created for the first time via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method. Results of the research indicated that the novel superhydrophobic coating was composed of countless beta-SiC nanowires coated with methyl groups (-CH3) and it was proved that the SiC nanowires coating possessed superhydrophobic properties. In addition, the growth process of the nanowires coating was investigated on the basis of Vapor-Liquid-Solid mechanism, and a potential hydrophobic mechanism was proposed. The methyl groups on the surface of SiC nanowires reduced the overall surface free energy of the SiC nanowires coating which led to a increase in the contact angle of the SiC nanowires coating.
