Superhydrophobic surface on stainless steel is fabricated from silane-SiO2 nanoparticles solution. High dispersion of agglomerates is required to get hierarchical structure. The dispersion degree of silica nanoparticles is function of the solvent used. Nanoparticles-solvent compatibility is mandatory to have high dispersion. Synergistic effect between silane mix and SiO2 in WS that lead to contact angle >150º.
