Abstract
A hydrophobic article includes a substrate and a nanoparticle layer disposed on the substrate and including nanoparticle agglomerates wherein the nanoparticle agglomerates have an average volume based size of at least 100 nanometers as determined using light scattering via ISO 13320. The hydrophobic article also includes a binder layer disposed on and in direct contact with the nanoparticle layer and including an oxidatively cured product of a silicon-based resin and an outermost layer that is disposed opposite the substrate and on and in direct contact with the binder layer. The hydrophobic article has a water contact angle of greater than or equal to 90 degrees as measured on the outermost layer of the hydrophobic article and determined using modified ASTM D5946-04.
