2.1. Fabrication of super-hydrophobic surfaces of SiO
-coated SiC
Nanowires on the graphite substrate

Firstly, the ethanol solution of FAS with a volume fraction of 1%
was prepared and the pH value of the solution was adjusted to 4.0
using glacial acetic acid. Furthermore, modifier FAS was deposited
onto the nanostructured surfaces by immersing the substrates
with SiO
-coated SiC nanowires in the above-prepared solution
for 24 h at room temperature. Finally, the products after FAS coating
were subsequently washed with ethanol to remove excess
reactants and then they were dried in oven for 12 h at 60 C.
