Fabrication and Surface Interactions of Super-Hydrophobic Silicon Carbide for Membrane Distillation

Hydrophilic silicon carbide was modified by surface deposition of a super-hydrophobic coating that is based on perfluorosilanes. The modification was proven to yield membrane surfaces with contact angles that were higher than 145° and to be stable under hydrothermal conditions. The measurem...
