Abstract:
To enhance the surface superhydrophobic performance of bamboo, this study employed 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane to fluorinate TiO2 nanoparticles, and successfully prepared a superhydrophobic bamboo surface. The results showed that the water contact angle of the modified superhydrophobic bamboo surface exceeded 160°, and it also exhibited excellent wear resistance, self-cleaning property, chemical stability, and ultraviolet resistance. This research provides a theoretical basis for the application of bamboo in fields such as construction and outdoor decoration.
