A method for forming a coating material capable of forming a hydrophobic, microstructured surface. The method comprises treating micro or nano-particles particles with a hydrophobic agent and an additive to form larger particles with the hydrophobic agent bonded thereto. The invention also comprises the coating material thus formed.

Method for forming coating material and the material formed thereby

A method for forming self-cleaning coating comprising hydrophobically-modified particles. Micro- or nano-particles are treated with a hydrophobic agent and an additive to form larger particles with the hydrophobic agent and the additive bonded thereto. A binder or crosslinker is attached to the larger particles by forming chemical bonds with at least one of the additive, the hydrophobic agent, and the particles, thus forming a coating material capable of forming self-cleaning coating.
