The cyclical alternation of hydrophobic and superhydrophilic effects prevents the dirt to adhere to the panel surface during the day. The scientists fabricated the first coating prototype with ...

The results showed that the laser treatment caused the silicon to become superhydrophilic, and that the spreading distance of the liquids, regardless of chemical composition, followed the ...

Additionally, the thin water film can easily wash away dirt and contaminants, leading to self-cleaning properties. Superhydrophilic coatings have been applied to glasses, mirrors, and camera lenses to ...
