Abstract
Superhydrophobic coatings are often limited in practical applications due to the fragile micro/nanostructures and poor mechanical resistance. Herein, a facile one‐pot synthesis strategy was proposed to fabricate an organic–inorganic composite coating with a three‐dimensional interconnected cross‐linked network through in situ photopolymerization of vinyltriethoxysilane (ETS) and its dehydration condensation reaction with natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). When the HNT loading reached 25 wt% of ETS, the as‐prepared coating exhibited uniform superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of ~150°. More importantly, owing to its consistent structure and chemical composition throughout the surface and bulk, the coating retained excellent hydrophobic stability even after severe mechanical abrasion. Beyond its simplicity and avoidance of organic solvents or fluorinated reagents, this strategy provides an effective way to prepare durable superhydrophobic coatings, which hold significant potential for many practical applications such as waterproofing and self‐cleaning.
Conventional carbonation of calcium silicates locks away CO2 yet leaves behind hydrophilic, brittle surfaces. Here, we transform this limitation into an opportunity by developing a hydrophobization‐assisted carbonation strategy that simultaneously fixes CO2 and constructs a durable superhydrophobic coating. The introdu...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a widely used silicone elastomer owing to its flexibility, chemical inertness, optical transparency, and biocompatibility. However, its relatively low mechanical strength, poor thermal and electrical conductivity, and hydrophobic surface limit its performance in advanced applications....

The fabrication of fiber aerogels via electrospinning typically requires either high-humidity environments or intricate post-treatment protocols, both of which compromise process simplicity and impede industrial scalability. Direct ambient-condition construction of mechanically stable three-dimensional fibrous networks...

Coatings based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based polymeric microspheres can be easily fabricated via non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) and electrostatic spraying (ES) techniques. Both techniques are promising strategies for constructing superhydrophobic surfaces on vari...
