Abstract

We present a robust, scalable superhydrophobic coating via covalent bonding of alkylated TiO2 within a siloxane network. It demonstrates exceptional mechanical durability, maintains repellency under harsh conditions, and offers self-cleaning, anti-fouling, and anti-corrosion functionalities for practical applications.
