Abstract

Superhydrophobic surface preparation is developed by inspiration from nature. As it is a natural fact that lotus leaves are water repellant, thus researchers tried their best to develop superhydrophobic coatings by using several materials. The materials are categorized by inorganic, organic, and their synergistic hybrids. Polymeric coatings are more usable by scientists because of its tunable chemical features and their internal morphologies. This chapter will discuss in brief the coating materials and how polymer systems influenced the superhydrophobicity.
