What about the Nano@ PTFE complex ? Is it possible to create a film on glass by pvd (Laser pulse or sputtering )methods?
Dear Akbar Mastouri , thin films of PTFE have been deposited over multiple substrates, including glass, by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and sputtering techniques.
From your query, it is difficult to know what the Nano@ PTFE complex actually is, probably you are referring to a nanocomposite, where some sort of nanomaterial is dispersed in a PTFE matrix. Depending on the nanomaterial´s nature and concentration, it could have an effect on the processes of ablation/sputtering and/or the deposition conditions. The best way to fine tune these parameters for your material would be by trial and error tests with a real sample of your Nano@PTFE complex, using the parameters for PTFE as starting point.
The following research works are publications about different PTFE thin film deposition over glass, that might be useful for your work, please, have a look at them:

Hope this helps. Good luck with your research work.
Thanks Dear Manuel Gómez
I meant exactly superhydrophobicity. Most PVD methods(E-beam, PLD, Sputtering) usually use a single material such as PTFE. I wanted to know that could be layered PTFE with ZnO at the same time? Or it should be used in two steps. Because there is a different evaporation temperature.
Dear Manuel Gómez
I am working on superhydrophobic techniques by Hierarchical structures(deposition and etching) in my PhD course. Do you know anyone to collaboration?
Dear Akbar Mastouri I think that Manuel Gómez already suggested some of the mostrelevant references with respect to your question. If you are looking for potential collaborators in your field of research you can try to find suitable researchers right here on RG. For example, search for terms like "superhydrophobic techniques", "hierarchical structures" or "Nano@ PTFE" and then click on "Researchers". This will certainly provide you with a few names of RG members who are working in closely related areas. You can then send them a message directly via RG.
Good luck and best wishes, Frank Edelmann
