Abstract:
      The theories of the wettability, the scientific importance and potential applications of superhydrophobic metallic surfaces were comprehensively introduced, which will extend the engineering applications of superhydrophobic metal-based materials in self-cleaning, drag reduction, water mini-conveyor, condensation control and anti-icing, anticorrosion, manipulation of droplets, oil/water separation, anti-biofouling, marine fouling and its prevention, and other fields. The corrosion resistance mechanism for the superhydrophobic surface on metal substrate in the corrosive environment was also suggested. It provides a reference basis for extension of superhydrophobicity in engineering application of industrial and civil works.
