Directional water transport property and water repellency of the superhydrophobic finished fabric after selective plasma treatment.

Caption

(A) Still frames taken from videos when water was dripped onto an inclinedly laid (45°) plasma selectively treated superhydrophobic finished fabric on exposed top spot and unexposed back spot areas under a flow rate of 10 μl/min. (B and C) Breakthrough pressures of both top and back sides of the fabrics versus (B) different sizes (diameters) of spot areas under a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min and (C) different flow rates through a spot diameter of 1 mm.
