Abstract

Today's coating applications allow for the employment of a wide range of techniques and substances to safeguard products and structures from chemical and chemical harm. Coatings are now widely utilized in manufacturing across the globe to boost productivity and cut costs, both of which are crucial for maintaining the industry's profitability. Materials with coatings are stronger than those without coatings. Strong and hard metals, ceramics, bioglass, polymers, and plastic materials are just a few of the alternatives available to designers for simple means of permanent protection. Coating techniques include sol-gel, thermal spray, dip coating, and spray coating. Only a few of the numerous processes that have been recorded and investigated include surface modification, thermal spray, sol-gel, and deposition by vapor, along with physical/chemical vapour deposition and electrode position techniques. The focus of the research is on different methods for creating aluminum-based hydrophobic coatings, as well as different aluminium oxide technical features, such as contact angle and optical properties, which are crucial for hydrophobic behaviour.In this review paper emphasis is being done to show the utility of aluminum oxide as nanocoating material for enhancement of hydrophobic property .Also various coating techniques is being discussed and compared showing different result as per methology .Alumium based nanomaterial properties is also being compared with other nano materials .Contact angle of diffrernt nano materials is also being compared along with aluminum oxide. In support of various hydrophobic property various properties like contact angle,Raman spectroscopy, X ray properties, hardness, and wet ability is being discussed. After the review role of aluminum oxide is found versatile and important in enhancing hydrophobic properties of materials and in real life application. Some modification in properties of aluminum oxide may also lead to conversion from hydrophobic (contact angle >900) to super hydrophobic (contact angle >1500). Right now, the best method for preventing aluminium alloy corrosion is chromate, or hexavalent chromium. Anodizing is frequently used as the preferred finishing technique for aluminium components. Long-term strength, durability, and corrosion resistance can be maintained in aluminium using this coating. Because of its superior weather resistance, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin is a manufactured coating that is frequently utilised for architectural applications. Wall claddings and aluminium roof sheets are among the most frequently coated surfaces using PVDF.As compared with hydrophobic property with respect to contact angle various result is seen as follows Lead(II) oxide114.60 , Iindium(III) oxide1150 , Zinc oxide153°, Titanium dioxide 129° , Chromium(III) oxide 1510, Alumina powder 144.500 and Teflon 128.400 etc
