Abstract
In this chapter, the findings of the various aspects of self-cleaning are presented. These aspects include the characteristics and properties of environmental dust particles, environmental dust particle adhesion on surfaces, water droplet adhesion on hydrophobic surfaces, water droplet dynamics on inclined hydrophobic surfaces, the influence of droplet contact angle and hysteresis on droplet mobility, formation of mud solution, and mud characteristics in humid air ambient conditions, dried mud removal from surfaces, the thermocapillary forces developed in droplet fluid, droplet heat transfer, dust particle cloaking, and immersion in water and oil films. The findings from the practical applications of the self-cleaning of hydrophobic surfaces are also presented incorporating case studies.
