A new water repellent outperforms nature at its best and could open a floodgate of commercial possibilities. The super-water repellent (superhydrophobic) material is easy to fabricate and uses ...

The Armor SX5000 WB is a low VOC, water-based Silane Siloxane sealer that penetrates deep into surface where it chemically reacts to form a water repellent barrier within the pores The Armor SX5000 WB ...

Through the investigation of insect surfaces, researchers have detailed a previously unidentified nanostructure that can be used to engineer stronger, more resilient water repellent coatings. Through ...

To fabricate hot water repellent fabrics, a nanocomposite of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and Teflon was prepared and applied to commercial fabrics to produce scalding protection clothes. Current water ...

Superhydrophobic coatings that make water droplets dance and roll off of a surface show promise for applications such as self-cleaning cars, buildings, and food processing equipment. A new method ...

Surfaces inspired by cicada wings and mosquito eyes have antifogging properties. A team of scientists from France and the US has created surfaces that mimic these natural systems, in an attempt to ...
