Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a ski wax composition including superhydrophobic carbon nano particles (CNPs) and a preparation method thereof, and more particularly, to a ski wax composition including a wax and superhydrophobic CNPs and a preparation method thereof. According to the present invention, since the hydrophobicity and retention capacity of the wax can be increased, friction reducing performance of a ski wax can be increased on an ice surface or a snow surface. In addition, since the superhydrophobic CNPs, which can be easily prepared, are used, the productivity of the ski wax composition can be improved and superb friction reducing performance can be exhibited. Further, since the superhydrophobic CNPs are dispersed into the wax by a simple sonication process, a problem caused by adding a surfactant can be solved. Therefore, the ski wax composition according to the present disclosure can be widely applied to industrial fields associated with the winter sports, including skiing.
