Abstract:
A self-repairing superhydrophobic organic coating comprising polystyrene, fluorinated poly(methylsiloxane), fluorinated alkyl silane modified silica nanoparticles and photocatalytic titania nanoparticles shows self-repairing ability after mechanical damage, photocatalytic self-cleaning performance, and thus long-term outdoor durability.
