Facile Preparation of Stable Superhydrophobic Coatings on Wood Surfaces using Silica-Polymer Nanocomposites

Superhydrophobic organic-inorganic composite nanocoatings were fabricated on the intrinsically heterogeneous surfaces of wood using silica-polymer hybrid materials, which were prepared through sol-gel chemistry using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as an inorganic precursor and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (H...
