Abstract

Superhydrophobic surfaces were facilely fabricated by a brush coating process based on silica/polymer composites. The hydrophobicity of the obtained surfaces can be tuned by varying the weight ratio of silica/polymer. The simple and robust strategy can facilitate the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces in large-scale on general substrates.
