They used carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a solvent to improve the dispersibility of hydrophobic coatings like tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). The CQD ...

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 ...

Highlighting the study's unique findings, Ms. Maejima, the first author, states, "We discovered that super-hydrophobic structural color coatings can be achieved by combining the hydrophobicity of ...

According to him, there are pros and cons to all types of coatings. Hydrophobic coatings, for example, are durable and commercially available. However, they have lower performance in terms of ice ...

Japanese researchers have developed a groundbreaking technology that combines structural color and super water-repellent properties, creating self-cleaning, long-lasting coatings using hydrophobic ...

The cyclical alternation of hydrophobic and superhydrophilic effects prevents the dirt to adhere to the panel surface during the day. The scientists fabricated the first coating prototype with ...
