Title Superhydrophobic nanofibre membranes : effects of particulate coating on hydrophobicity and surface properties Author(s) Fang, Jian Wang, Hongxia Wang, Xungai Lin, Tong Journal name Journal of the textile institute Volume number 103 Issue number 9 Start page 937 End page 944 Total pages 8 Publisher Routledge Place of publication Abingdon, England Publication date 2012-09 ISSN 0040-5000 Keyword(s) superhydrophobic nanofibres surface coating surface properties Summary Superhydrophobic electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibre membranes have been prepared by surface coating of silica nanoparticles and fluorinated alkyl silane. The coated membranes were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle, thermogravimetry analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. It was shown that the loading of nanoparticle on the nanofibre membrane was controlled by the particle concentration in the coating solution, which played a critical role in the formation of superhydrophobic surface. Increased particle loading led to higher surface roughness and WCA. The nanoparticle coating had little influence on the porosity of the nanofibre membranes. However, overloading of the particles would affect the specific surface area of the nanofibre membrane.
