Abstract
In this work, we present a simple and effective silica–polymer-based spray coating to create a translucent, mechanically durable, chemically stable, healable and environmentally friendly superhydrophobic coating with UV resistance. The coatings retained superhydrophobicity after UV radiation for at least 175 hours, heating up to 150 °C, exposure to strong acids and bases, and various mechanical durability tests such as knife scraping, hand...
