A flower-like waterborne coating with self-cleaning, self-repairing properties for superhydrophobic applications

Self-healing system of superhydrophobic surfaces inspired from and beyond nature

“…Wu et al 43 constructed PTFE/VTES microcapsules using sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate as the carrier, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the wall material, and vinyl triethoxy silane (VTES) as the core material. The PTFE/VTES microcapsules were mixed with zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs and deposited on the surface of the wood.…”

UV-curable self-matting waterborne polyurethane acrylate coatingviaself-wrinkled surface during curing in open-air

“…The water contact angles of the other three lms are all above 90°, which are hydrophobic surfaces. The water contact angle is generally related to micro-nano structures [46][47][48][49] and the roughness of the lm surface. 50 The R a of F 1 , F 2 , and F 3 are 0.35 mm, 0.22 mm, and 0.25 mm, respectively (as shown in Fig.…”

Synthesis of TiO2 nanogel composite for highly efficient self-healing epoxy coating

“…Once corrosion occurs, the organic coating itself is unable to cease the propagation of defective zones and protect the substrate. Self-healing coatings showed the potential to ameliorate this crucial problem of organic coatings by repairing the coating through various approaches [13] , [14] . Currently, new approaches for self-healing have been utilized including the healing agent's release, reversible bonding, and nanoparticles [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] .…”
