Nanotextured surfaces

Patent Granted Nanotextured surfaces (NTSs) are defined as surfaces covered with nano-sized structures. They have one dimension on the nanoscale, i.e., only the thickness of the surface of an object is between 0.1 and 100 nm. They are currently gaining popularity because of their special applications owing to their unique physical properties. Nanotextured surfaces are in various forms like cones, columns, or fibers. These are water, ice, oil, and microorganism repellent that is superaphiphobic, anti-icing and antifouling respectively and thus self-cleaning.
