Hydrophobic Materials Based on Some Organic Acid Salts

The wetting ability of the material of interfacial formations based on metal stearates, oleates, myristates, and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphates was studied. It is shown that the nature of the metal and solvent on various substrates affects the wetting angle of the material. The material of interfacial formations has controlled wettability. By varying the synthesis conditions, it is possible to obtain homogeneous coatings, with the wetting angle of the product surface modified by the material of interphase formations reaching 145°. Experiments aimed at preserving the hydrophobic properties of the coating were performed.
