Trimethylchlorosilane-induced hydrophobicity on a porous crushed glass pellet for ECCENTRIC research. Contact angles up to 140° were observed.
CHAOS has worked extensively using chemicals to induce hydrophobicity on crushed glass ceramics. This is an interesting article on the future of superhydrophobicity through lasers, informed by the nanostructures of natural organisms.
Research team led by Prof Forrest Meggers, faculty jointly appointed in the School of Architecture and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.
