Abstract
Superhydrophobic coating is an idea that imitate the surrounding nature,
whichn has the biggest advantage in corrosion prevention on metals. This is because
the surface of contact and liquid can be minimized so it can offer great resistance to
humid surrounding. This thesis are to know the superhydrophobic can be achieve
surface on the carbon soot from candle flames. The samples later are being dipped into
PVDF/Acetone mixture to improve superhydrophobic contact. Carbon Soot(CS) that
coating the glass slides which are obtained as hydrophobic state. It is collected from
general uses candles to prove the hydrophobic behaviour from the carbon soot
collected. Micropipette are being used to drop a few of droplets on the surface to check
the contact angle occurred on the surface of carbon soot. The polymer used are 0.8g of
Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) are mixture properly and continuously until it
achieved perfect dilute in 80ml of Acetone based. The dip-coating process are in the
constant Withdrawal/Drawing (W/D) at 40 mm/s and taking at 4 mins. The drying
process are done in whole day time at room temperature. The contact angle on the both
surfaces of samples can be obtained through Microscopic lens. As conclusion, carbon
soot from candles can achieve hydrophobic and can achieve superhydrophobic with
mixture of PVDF/Acetone in certain conditions.
