Abstract: |
This paper describes a simulation
model of nanoparticle assemblies formed by spray
deposition. The simulation deposits nanoparticles
via a semi-mechanistic process, which in spite of its simplicity generates
morphologies of considerable complexity. The experiments reveal several
relationships between nanoparticle parameters such
as their relative proportions in mixtures, and resulting surface properties,
such as roughness and superhydrophobicity.
According to the simulation results, for mixtures involving nanoparticles with diameters 7 nm and 14 nm, a relative
proportion of 40% vs. 60% respectively, produces the
surfaces with largest contact angle. |
