A facile and large-area fabrication method of superhydrophobic self-cleaning fluorinated polysiloxane/TiO2 nanocomposite coatings with long-term durability

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.
