A Review on Superhydrophobic Coating for Personal Protective Equipment in Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
Abstract: Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection caused by a newly acquired coronavirus. We have entered the global epidemic. It is important to maintain physical distance to prevent the spread of coronavirus among humans. However, health care workers and other paramedics worked 24 X 7 to rescue patients. While operating, the use of protective equipment is required. The use of protective equipment such as face masks, gloves and aprons is essential to prevent …

Electrochemical Etching on Copper Surfaces to Achieve Superhydrophobicity
Abstract: In the present study, an attempt has been made to create superhydrophobicity on copper substrate by etching the surface at different parameters (current density and time). Etching time was varied from 30 to 240 minutes. Untreated copper surface exhibited contact angle of 91.4°. The best etched surface exhibited a maximum contact angle of 142.1° for a current density of 0.01A/cm2 and etching time of 60 minutes. The structure–property relationship of …
