本研究表明，创建一个稳定的，超疏水性的表面，使用纳米级的粗糙度固有的垂直排列的碳纳米管森林连同薄的，共形的疏水聚（PTFE）的表面上的纳米管涂层。超疏水性可以达到微观水平，其中基本上是球形的，微米大小的水滴可以悬浮在纳米管森林的顶部。
The present study demonstrates the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface using the nanoscale roughness inherent in a vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest together with a thin, conformal hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) coating on the surface of the nanotubes. Superhydrophobicity is achieved down to the microscopic level where essentially spherical, micrometer-sized water droplets can be suspended on top of the nanotube forest.
