AB  - In this work, the electrospinning technique is used for the fabrication of 
      electrospun functional fibers with desired properties in order to show a 
      superhydrophobic behavior. With the aim to obtain a coating with the best 
      properties, a design of experiments (DoE) has been performed by controlling 
      several inputs operating parameters, such as applied voltage, flow rate, and 
      precursor polymeric concentration. In this work, the reference substrate to be 
      coated is the aluminum alloy (60661T6), whereas the polymeric precursor is the 
      polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which presents an intrinsic hydrophobic nature. Finally, 
      in order to evaluate the coating morphology for the better performance, the 
      following parameters-such as fiber diameter, surface roughness (Ra, Rq), optical 
      properties, corrosion behavior, and wettability-have been deeply analyzed. To sum 
      up, this is the first time that DoE has been used for the optimization of 
      superhydrophobic or anticorrosive surfaces by using PVC precursor for the 
      prediction of an adequate surface morphology as a function of the input 
      operational parameters derived from electrospinning process with the aim to 
      validate better performance.
