In this research, painted steel surfaces were modified by vacuum plasma, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic grooves were made on them in millimeter scale. Then, by building a steam reactor, the parts were tested to extract water from the air and it was observed that modifying the surfaces increases the amount of water produced several times. Next, the optimal thickness of the paint on the steels was determined.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Sabzevari, Shadi and Mohajer, Mohammad Hossein and Monfaredi, Motahare and Fard, Mohammad Sajad Nikouei and Qomi, Hamid Reza}, year={2024}, month={Mar.}, keywords={Extraction of water from air, Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic, Vacuum plasma} }
