Hydrophobic Coatings The Future of Materials Science

Hydrophobic coatings have seen tremendous growth in applications over the past decade due advances in materials science. These specialized coatings repel water and other liquids through surface engineering at the nanoscale. A Primer on HydrophobicityIn nature, the lotus leaf provides a prime example of hydrophobicity. Its waxy cuticle is textured with micro- and nanoscale bumps […]
