Popis: In this work, we studied influence of fluoropolymer thin film deposition on wettability of the silicon oxide nanowires array. Deposition of fluoropolymer coating on the silicon oxide nanowires array changes the surface properties from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, and micro and nano scale surface roughness does not change significantly. In addition, it was shown that the deposition of fluoropolymer coating on nanowires protects the nanostructures from bundling together as a result of the attractive capillary forces that arise during evaporative drying.
