You've no doubt seen footage of water-repellent coatings that seemingly defy the laws of nature. However, they have a catch: they're often too fragile to be useful in situations where they're likely ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

A self-healing, water-repellent, spray-on coating is hundreds of times more durable than its counterparts, report researchers in a new article. A self-healing, water-repellent, spray-on coating ...

Superhydrophobic coatings that make water droplets dance and roll off of a surface show promise for applications such as self-cleaning cars, buildings, and food processing equipment. A new method ...

The coating is actually a combination of materials called "fluorinated polyurethane elastomer" mixed with a water-repellent molecule known as "F-POSS." The researchers say that what sets their ...

U.S. Army scientists have developed an advanced coating for fabrics that could make soldier uniforms much more effective at repelling water, oil and many other liquid chemicals. This durable ...

Applying a novel coating to part of the machinery in power plants could significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Applying it at just one coal plant would reduce yearly emissions as much as ...
