Abstract

In recent years, functional material surface functionalization has grown into an expanding area of research due to the development and design of advanced systems and devices for key areas in biotechnol., smart sensing, environmental applications and manufg. NdNiO3 surface was functionalized with octadecylphosphonic acid (ODP) using liq. phase reaction to attain superhydrophobic properties. The resulting ODP modified surface exhibited dual-scale roughness with a stable static contact angle of 170 ± 2°. Electron microscopy micrographs of ODP crystals formed revealed a nonuniform lateral growth characteristics. The presence of ODP hydrocarbon chains was confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy with characteristic peaks at 2924 cm-1 and 2851 cm-1. [on SciFinder(R)]
