超疏水性塗料常用於表面抗汙及防蝕，其性能主要受表面粗糙結構和塗料之表面能控制。考量到目前的超疏水塗層製備法通常較複雜，且成本高，所以我們使用市售的微米與奈米粒子，不進行改質並結合低表面能、穩定且疏水的可循環性高分子直接在材料表面製備出粗糙孔洞結構。
透過一系列的實驗測試，我們得到了兩組不同尺寸的二氧化矽配方，並結合具有疏水、穩定且疏水的可循環性市售高分子和亞甲基二苯基二異氰酸酯（Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate，MDI）作為粒子的接著劑並提供低表面能的表面。利用掃描式電子顯微鏡和原子力顯微鏡可分析它們的微結構及其塗料粗糙度；它們在多項測試中有不錯的表現，像是在自潔淨測試中證明其的抗汙能力；在超過30次砂紙磨耗與3000滴水衝擊下，此塗層都能保持接觸角在150°以上，證明其耐受性良好；在抗垢測試證明這些塗層能減少垢石的產生；利用NaOH、HNO3和NaCl，來模擬酸鹼鹽的環境，驗證其化學抗性，另外我們也利用塗層表面之電化學極化曲線與交流阻抗分析來了解其抗蝕能力。
從實驗結果可知我們的塗料在能源領域有廣泛的應用。舉例來說，不錯的抗結垢和耐熱性能也能應用在火力發電的熱水鍋爐，避免水垢的產生降低其效能；塗料對金屬的抗海水腐蝕能力，能降低離岸風機基座的維護成本等。

Surface anti-fouling and corrosion resistance are enhanced by our superhydrophobic coatings, which are influenced by microstructure, roughness, and surface energy. We combine unmodified micron and nanoscale particles with a sustainable polymer to create a porous structure on surfaces to simplify preparation and reduce costs.
Experiments yielded highly hydrophobic coatings, the microstructure and roughness of which can be examined using SEM and AFM. In self-cleaning tests, they demonstrated outstanding performance, including excellent anti-fouling capabilities. Despite being subjected to over 30 cycles of sandpaper abrasion and 3000 water droplet impacts, the coatings-maintained contact angles greater than 150°, demonstrating remarkable durability. Anti-scaling tests demonstrated their ability to reduce the formation of scale. Chemical resistance was tested using NaOH, HNO3, and NaCl, which were used to simulate acidic, alkaline, and salt environments. Electrochemical polarization curves and AC impedance analysis were used to assess corrosion resistance.
Our experimental results show that these coatings have a wide range of applications in the energy sector. They improve solar panel efficiency, for example, by having self-cleaning properties. Their anti-scaling and heat-resistant performance benefits thermal power generation hot water boilers by preventing scale formation and efficiency loss. Furthermore, the coatings' resistance to seawater corrosion lowers the cost of maintenance for offshore wind turbine foundations.
