    Hydrophobic Nano Coating

    Uploaded by

    Hydrophobic coatings repel water and prevent surfaces from getting dirty or wet. They work by having a nanostructure that causes water to bead up instead of spreading out. Some applications of hydrophobic coatings include self-cleaning glass, protecting monuments from weathering, making wood fire-resistant, preventing ice buildup on airplane wings, and creating self-cleaning car surfaces. Hydrophobic coatings are made from materials like titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and carbon nanotubes that form microscopic structures mimicking the self-cleaning effect of lotus leaves.

    WHAT IS MEANT
    HYDROPHOBICITY??
    Hydrophobic = Water Hating
    When water hits a hydrophobic surface, it
    beads.
    Water beads

    Hydrophobic
    surface
    =beading
    HYDROPHOBIC EFFECT
    The hydrophobic effect
    represents the tendency of
    water to exclude non-polar
    molecules. The effect
    originates from the
    disruption of highly
    dynamic hydrogen bonds
    between molecules of
    liquid water.
    The Lotus Leaf Effect
    The leaves of Lotus plants have the
    unique ability to avoid getting
    dirty.
    They are coated with wax crystals
    around 1 nanometer in diameter.
    Droplets falling onto the leaves
    form beads and roll off taking dirt
    with them, meaning the leaves are
    self-cleaning.
    Sometimes referred to as
    The Lotus Leaf effect
    HYDROPHOBIC SAND
    NANO PARTICLE
    A nanoparticle (or
    nanopowder or nanocluster
    or nanocrystal) is a
    microscopic particle with at
    least one dimension less
    than 100 nm.
    Nanoparticle research is
    currently an area of intense
    scientific research, due to a
    wide variety of potential
    applications in many fields.
    NANO COATING COMPOSITION
    Super hydrophobic coatings can be made from
    many different materials:
    Manganese oxide polystyrene (MnO2/PS) nano
    composite
    Zinc oxide polystyrene (ZnO/PS) nano-
    composite
    Precipitated calcium carbonate
    Carbon Nano tube structures
    Silica nano-coating
    Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2).
    APPLICATIONS

    Hydrophobic coatings are being used in


    many different areas:
    Self cleaning glass
    Aerospace
    Wood construction
    Monument protection
    Automobile Cleaning
    Bored of cleaning glass doors or glass
    objects regularly ???
    SELF CLEANING GLASS
    Scientists have Self cleaning glass Normal glass

    mimicked nature
    at the nanoscale
    to create glass No more scrubbing of
    surfaces that are shower screens!

    self-cleaning
    like the Lotus
    leaf.
    No more Spiderman
    window cleaner!
    SELF CLEANING GLASS

    How does it work?


    Glass is coated with a layer of nanocrystalline
    titanium dioxide (TiO2). The titanium dioxide
    reacts to the ultraviolet (UV) component of
    sunlight causing a gradual break down and
    loosening of dirt.
    This is known as the Photocatalytic
    stage.
    WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS
    Thinking how to
    protect a monument
    from atmospheric
    changes???
    Monument Protection
    Much of the damage to
    protected monuments around
    the world is caused by weather.
    Using nanotechnology, a
    protective coating can be
    applied to the monuments to
    protect them from the
    elements.
    Nanotechnology prevents
    water from seeping into the
    crevices and freezing to cause
    cracks and damage.
    Living in a wooden house and
    scared of any fire accident??
    WOOD PROTECTION

    Wood, when sprayed


    with a protective
    coating, will not burn.
    In the pictures, the board
    on the top is burning.
    The board on the
    bottom looks to be
    charred, but the charring
    scrapes off with ease.
    Scared of Boarding a Plane in Winter

    Dont Worry.
    AERO SPACE
    Hydrophobic coatings
    using nanotechnology
    are helping in the
    aerospace industry by
    making airplane wings
    resistant to water and ice
    coatings.
    Many airplane crashes
    have been attributed to
    ice on the wings before
    and during flight.
    Fed up of continuous
    vehicle cleaning??
    AUTOMOBILE CLEANING

    hydrophobic nanocoating
    can coated on an
    automobile body which
    doesnt not allow any dirt
    to deposit on the outer
    body.
    Hence cleaning it self
    without giving any burden
    of continuous cleaning
    NISSAN PROTOTYPE OF SC CAR
    ADVANTAGES
    Protects glass from corrosion (acid rain etc.)
    Easy application through spraying, polishing,
    immersion, smearing etc.
    Optically neutral (colourless, transparent).
    UV Protection
    Stable at varying temperatures.
    Low Cleaning and Maintenance requirements.
    Retains the quality of surface.
    Ecologically beneficial & biologically safe.
    DISADVANTAGES

    It is very expensive.
    Continuous washing may reduce the
    concentration of the coating
    Not applicable to food and beverages
    THE FUTURE

    Nanotechnology provides new materials that


    could potentially have profound affects on
    building design.
    For instance, glass can be used more liberally if it
    is optically tuned to block heat and UV.
    It would be possible to construct a building with
    many more, larger windows than is currently
    viable, since heat can be kept out and UV photo-
    damaged prevented.
