Abstract

Mechanically robust, transparent and superhydrophobic coatings on glass surface are critical for building and automotive self-cleaning function. In this paper, by using acidic SiO2 sol as a binder and mixing two different sizes of hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles with the binder, mechanically robust transparent coatings with micro/nano hierarchical structure were prepared. The influence of mixing process on interface structure was studied. Results show that abrasive resistance of micro/nano hierarchical structural coatings depends on the control of voids and holes on the interface. Water contact angle (WCA) of the micro/nano hierarchical structural coatings reaches >150° when modified by fluoroalkylsilane. Under condition of load of 1 kg/cm2, WCA can still maintain >120° after 200 cycles of mechanical abrasion, showing excellent wear resistance and application prospect.
