Design of a transparent hydrophobic coating

Hydrophobic coatings have been applied to various industrial items. However, their expected properties cannot always be obtained for practical use by merely decreasing their surface energies. Various cases require precise design and control of a coating's structure and chemical composition. This paper briefly reviews recent studies of transparent hydrophobic coating design. It specifically addresses superhydrophobic coatings.
