STRUCTURES COATED WITH ULTRAHYDROPHOBIC NANOSTRUCTURE COMPOSITE AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are: a structure coated with an ultrahydrophobic nanostructure composite; and a process for producing the structure.  The structure is one obtained by: densely coating a surface of a solid base of a desired shape with a nanostructure obtained by combining a polymer having a polyethylene-imine skeleton with silica on the order of nanometer; and bonding hydrophobic groups to the surface of the nanostructure.  Also provided are: a structure coated with an ultrahydrophobic nanostructure composite; and a process for producing the structure.  This structure is one obtained by removing the polymer having a polyethylene-imine skeleton from the nanostructure and bonding hydrophobic groups to the surface of the residual nanostructure comprising the silica as the main constituent component.  Furthermore provided is a method of using the structures as a container for transferring an aqueous solution.
