Inspired by the self-cleaning and water-repellent properties of plants and animals in the
natural world, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials develop quickly, and are of …

A fluorinated silyl functionalized zirconia was synthesized by the sol-gel method to fabricate
an extremely durable superhydrophobic coating on cotton fabrics by simple immersion …

For a superhydrophobic coating, its limited durability has been a persistent issue that
prevents its widespread usage in outdoor applications. Here, we propose a scalable, self …

Aluminum is a type of metal widely used in various industries such as shipbuilding.
However, when exposed to aggressive environments such as seawater, it undergoes …

The current progress in mechanically durable water‐repellent surfaces is reviewed. Water
repellency can be accomplished through textured superhydrophobic surfaces, or slippery …

Superhydrophobic coatings have remarkable potential for applications in different fields.
With the availability of either nano-structural templates or simple methodology, the search for …

The heulandite zeolite was successfully used as the host structure for a new Co-based blue
colorant ceramic pigment. The method was the ion exchange of Co and Zn cations with the …

This work reports on the systematic comparison of the crystalline structural, morphological
and hydrophobic properties of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films fabricated by atomic …

The present work describes the fabrication of functionalized mesoporous silica based
