Large-Scale, Abrasion-Resistant, and Solvent-Free Superhydrophobic Objects Fabricated by a Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing Strategy

Zhenhua Wu et al.

Summary: Abrasion-resistant superhydrophobic objects at a half-a-meter scale can be manufactured through selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing technology using hydrophobic-fumed-silica (HFS)/polymer composite grains. These objects have low-adhesion and intrinsic superhydrophobic properties with desired 3D structures, and remained anti-wetting capabilities even after undergoing various abrasion tests. This strategy can be applied to industrial customization of large-scale superhydrophobic objects, such as the shell of unmanned aerial vehicles and abrasion-resistant superhydrophobic shoes.
