Multifunctional superhydrophobic coatings fabricated from basalt scales on a fluorocarbon coating base

Superhydrophobic coatings are increasingly being evaluated as anticorrosion interventions in exceedingly hydrated environments. However, concerns about their long-term durability and amenability to large-area applications in marine environments are still hindering commercial-scale deployment. This study is focused on development of easy-to-apply superhydrophobic coatings, with multifunctional capabilities, in order to extend the integrity and...
