Methods for preparing durable hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-icing coatings by applying a composition that comprises a lacquer binder, one or more types of particles having a size of about 30 microns to about 225 micron, and one or more types of particles modified with hexamethyldisilazane, polydimethylsiloxane or silanizing agents are set forth, along with the resulting coatings and methods of their use.

Highly durable superhydrophobic, oleophobic and anti-icing coatings and methods and compositions for their preparation

Disclosed are methods of preparing durable hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-icing coatings on a substrate comprising the application of a binder containing particles to the substrate and the application of hydrophobic and oleophobic particles to the binder. In the resulting coating, the particles applied with the binder are primarily distributed within and coated by the binder and the hydrophobic/oleophobic particles are distributed on or at the exposed surface where they can interact with liquids.

Methods of making highly durable superhydrophobic, oleophobic and anti-icing coatings

Described herein are methods for creating spill-proof or spill-resistant surfaces through the use of hydrophobic or oleophobic (H&#x2014;SH) edges, borders and/or boundaries that contain the water and other liquids within the inside edges, borders and/or boundaries. Also described herein are spill-proof/spill-resistant surfaces. Liquid (e.g., water and other aqueous solutions/suspensions) heights of 3-6 mm on a level planar surface can be sustained by such edges, borders and/or boundaries. The H&#x2014;SH borders can be created on glass, metal, wood, plastic, and concrete surfaces.

Spill resistant surfaces having hydrophobic and oleophobic borders

Described herein are methods for creating spill-proof or spill-resistant surfaces through the use of hydrophobic or oleophobic (H-SH) edges, borders or/and boundaries that contain the water and other liquids within inside the edges, borders and/or boundaries. Also described herein are spill-proof/spill-resistant surfaces. Liquid (e.g., water and other aqueous solutions/suspension) heights of 3-6 mm on a level planar surface can be sustained by such edges, borders and/of boundaries. The H-SH borders can be created on glass, metal, wood, plastic, and concrete surfaces.

Highly durable hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-icing coatings and methods of their preparation and use are described herein.
