    Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have developed a new spray material with excellent hydrophobic properties, the Australian National University (ANU) reported on September 8, 2016. The new protective coating can eventually be used to waterproof mobile phones and prevent ice or hull corrosion on the aircraft's surface.the Australian National University's School of Engineering Research's Nanotechnology Research Laboratory said the surface of the coating was a layer of nanoparticles that allowed water to slip like it was falling on a hot oven.the team created a coating that was more durable than any other material by combining two plastics, one hard and the other flexible. The coating is like a fishing net interwoven with two different materials, the researchers said. Hydrophobic or ultra-hydrophobic coatings are transparent and resistant to UV radiation., lead researcher and head of the laboratory at the Nanotechnology Research Laboratory, said the new material will change the way we treat liquids. Not only does it keep skyscraper windows clean, it also prevents the bathroom mirror from fogging.innovation in this study is that this transparent coating keeps very fragile nanomaterials stable, allowing ultra-durable nanostructures to be widely used in the real world. The team found two ways to make this material, which are cheaper and simpler than other existing preparation processes. One way is to use flame to produce nanoparticles of the material. In cryogenic applications, the team dissolved two ingredients by spraying., the material is not only waterproof, but its ability to control material properties will also be widely used in a variety of other coatings. Today, many functional coatings are fragile, but in the future we will be able to use this technology to make coatings more durable with properties such as corrosion, self-cleaning or oil dredging.
