Large-scale fabrication of translucent and repairable superhydrophobic spray coatings with remarkable mechanical, chemical durability and UV resistance

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: A simple and effective silica-polymer-based spray coating was developed to create a translucent, mechanically durable, chemically stable, healable and environmentally friendly superhydrophobic coating with UV resistance. The coating can be fabricated on soft substrates for water/oil separation.
