thesis
posted on 2010-01-01, 00:00 authored by Hongxia Wang
In this study, fabrics with novel super water-repellent and unidirectional water-transfer functions have been prepared using one-step wet-chemical coating processes. The mechanism of directional water transport across the fabrics having gradient superhydrophobicity to hydrophilicity has been elucidated.
