Kexiao Zhou, Jie Luo, Yuan Wang, Lingyun Yang, Chenhui Chen, Wenhao Liu, Yi Xu
TL;DR
This study explores how curing conditions and surface texture affect the strength and water-repelling properties of superhydrophobic concrete.
Contribution
The study identifies optimal curing parameters and surface textures to balance mechanical strength and superhydrophobicity in cementitious materials.
Findings
Curing temperature positively impacts material properties, while excessive humidity compromises superhydrophobicity.
Micro- and nanoscale surface textures enhance superhydrophobicity without sacrificing compressive strength.
Chemical stability ensures long-term performance of superhydrophobic concrete.
