The invention relates to hydrophobic coating comprising reactiveninorganic nano-particles, a process for their manufacture as well asntheir use in industrial processes. These coatings combine hydrophobic orneven super-hydrophobic properties with superior mechanical propertiesnand easy processability. Some superhydrophobic coatings may even havenself-cleaning properties. These hydrophobic and superhydrophobicncoatings may be applied in the food industry, exterior or interiorndecoration, automobile industry and display industry. Also comprisednwithin the invention are inorganic reactive nano-particles, and finishednarticles comprising a coating of inorganic nano-particles. |
