Non-premixed flame synthesis of hydrophobic carbon nanostructured surfaces
Abstract
We synthesize and deposit carbon nanostructures through flame synthesis on stainless steel grids and foils, and on bare and ferrofluid-painted silicon wafers at different non-premixed flame locations to produce hydrophobic surfaces. The hydrophobicity is characterized through the contact angle for water droplets placed on the surface. The surface morphology of the nanoparticles is obtained from high-resolution FESEM images. The morphology and …
