Abstract

The need to create new enhanced corrosion resistant coatings has grown because of the financial burden corrosion places on certain industries such as oil industry. Organic inhibitors have been extensively reported to protect metals and metallic alloys from corrosion although they have a negative impact on environment. Development of better corrosion resistant coatings such as metal alloys, metal-ceramics, polymers, and hydrophobic films are examples of corrosion resistant coatings for metals and alloys. Recently, superhydrophobic coatings have been widely implemented into many fields including anti-fogging transparent materials, self-cleaning surfaces, biomedical and corrosion applications. In the proposed chapter, a comprehensive review will be dedicated for the fundamentals and developments of superhydrophobic materials including theoretical background; superhydrophobicity in nature; preparation techniques; and recent attempts to develop superhydrophobic surfaces.
