Over the past few years, the scientific community, as well as the world's coatings industry
has seen the introduction of oxide/polymer-based superhydrophobic surfaces and coatings …

We present a simple method to prepare superhydrophobic surfaces using siliceous
exoskeleton of diatoms, a widespread group of algae. This makes diatomaceous earth an …

Superhydrophobic coatings were prepared using 3-(heptafluoroisopropoxy)-
propyltrimethoxysilane (HFIP-TMS) treated diatomaceous earth (DE) particles with high …

Bio-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated based on fossilized silica fresh
water diatomaceous earth (DE) particles. These nanostructured silicified diatom frustules of …
