Hydrophobic hybrid silica sol-gel coating on aluminium: Stability evaluation during saturated vapour condensation

Hydrophobic coatings are widely employed in liquid-vapour phase change applications, offering advantageous control on condensation dynamics. However, they suffer from poor stability under harsh conditions and their durability is often neglected over thermal performance. Here, the global performance...
