Abstract A superhydrophobic aluminum sheet is fabricated via hot water immersing process and subsequently surface modification with heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxy-silane (HTMS). As revealed by the scan electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) results, a rough pseudoboehmite film is formed on the aluminum sheet, and HTMS molecules are grafted on the film surface successfully. These two factors make the treated aluminum sheet present superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle larger than 160° and sliding angle less than 5°, and possess self-cleaning property. Furthermore, the flexible superhydrophobic aluminum sheet could be pasted to cylinder surface without destroying its superhydrophobicity. At the end, the effect of hot water treatment time on superhydrophobicity is investigated.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
