Stable bionic superhydrophobic coating surface fabricated by a conventional curing process

A bionic superhydrophobic surface with both micrometer and nanometer structure toughness is achieved by a simple and conventional coating-curing process on engineering materials such as stainless steel. The superhydrophobic surfaces (water contact angle of about 165 degrees, see figure) possess very good cohesional strength and high- and low-temperature resistance, which is very important for practical industrial applications of these coatings.
