Abstract: = 163 ± 19 nm), indicating enhanced coating growth. Subsequent deposition of a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer on the optimized CQD-PDA coating increased the WCA to 119°, while maintaining a WCA of approximately 90° after five ultrasonication cycles and 103° after five water-impact cycles, demonstrating good coating durability. These findings establish nanoparticle morphology as a key parameter governing PDA coating formation and provide a simple, morphology-directed strategy for fabricating functional coatings with controllable wettability.
