Due to the advantages of beautiful appearance, exterior wall real stone paint with properties
of low cost and good weather resistance has been widely applied on concrete buildings for …

In its simplest definition, corrosion is the deterioration of desired physicochemical properties
of materials by the environment. This natural process can affect both metallic and …

Superhydrophobic coatings, known for their water‐repelling properties, play an important
role in corrosion resistance and self‐cleaning applications. This study addresses the …

The insufficient curing and protection of fair-faced concrete results in its poor durability and
decorative effect, thus probably causing substantial economic loss. In order to improve the …

Superhydrophobic coatings are limited to poor durability and a tedious preparation process.
In this work, an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective sol-gel method is developed for …

In this study, a durable superhydrophobic antibacterial coating was developed by a facile
spraying method. A mixture of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and hydrophobic SiO2 …
