Super‐“Amphiphobic” Aligned Carbon Nanotube Films

Abstract

Fluoroalkylsilane treatment of super-hydrophobic, aligned carbon nanotube films (see electron micrograph) prepared by pyrolysis of metal phthalocyanines results in the films having both super-hydrophobic and super-lipophobic properties, namely they are super-“amphiphobic” surfaces.
