Accessing the corrosion resistance for metallic surfaces using long-chain fatty acids
Summary
This study demonstrated that superhydrophobic coatings made from long-chain fatty acids can protect metallic surfaces from corrosion, dirt, and water—offering a simple surface treatment approach for extending the lifespan of metal infrastructure.
In this study, the corrosion resistance of a metallic surface is provided by a superhydrophobic coating, which can protect it from dirt and water.

Mechanically robust superhydrophobic coatings for efficiency and recyclable microplastic removal
Researchers developed a durable superhydrophobic (extremely water-repelling) coating for stainless steel by electrodepositing a combination of molybdenum disulfide, zinc oxide, and lauric acid onto the metal surface in a single step. The coating maintained its water-repelling properties across a wide pH range and resisted physical abrasion from sandpaper, sand impact, and mud — common conditions in environmental use. In microplastic removal tests, the coating efficiently captured plastic particles from water and could be reused multiple times. This approach offers a low-cost, chemically stable material for continuous microplastic filtration in water treatment applications.
The Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Coatings Using Food‐Grade Wax Dispersions
Researchers developed a method for creating water-repellent coatings using only food-grade waxes and common solvents, achieving superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles above 150 degrees.

The technology offers a sustainable, food-safe alternative to conventional plastic-based water-resistant coatings for applications such as food packaging.
