PAINTABLE HYDROPHOBIC AND LUBRICANT-INFUSED SURFACE COATINGS AND PROCESSES FOR MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

Compositions and processes are disclosed for forming hydrophobic coatings and lubricant-infused surface coatings. Coatings may be applied to various substrates without prior chemical or temperature treatment of the substrates and over large and irregular surfaces. Coatings are self-healing, anti-fouling, and have enhanced lifetimes.
