These hydrophobic coatings reduce the affinity between the surface and water molecules, promoting water repellency. In addition to low surface energy, superhydrophobicity requires a specific surface ...

Cornell University researchers have developed awaterproof coating made from unrefined polyester/spandex textile waste.

"We applied a hydrophobic parylene coating to the surface of the cathode gas flow channel in MEA electrolyzers to facilitate salt droplet removal," explained Hao. "One of our most notable findings ...
