Formulation of nanohybrid coating based on essential oil and fluoroalkyl silane for antibacterial superhydrophobic surfaces

This paper reveals the role of microstructures formed on the surface of aluminum substrates created by acid etching. A wettability study showed that using a fluorinated silica polymer (PF) and the essential oil of eucalyptus (ECA) with adequate surface texture promoted antibacterial activity. Scanni...
