Abstract

A long-term superhydrophobic self-cleaning coating was first fabricated by simply blending ambient-cured fluorinated polysiloxane binder with TiO₂ nanoparticles. The obtained coating has excellent durability in various environments, and this method can be used for large-scale fabrication of self-cleaning coatings for practical applications.
