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.
