The superhydrophobic surface comprises a substrate treated with the composition, the composition comprising a fluorine-free hydrophobic matrix component; Filler particles, which are plant-based elements of sizes ranging from 100 nm to 100 μm; And water, wherein the hydrophobic matrix component is in an aqueous dispersion, wherein the surface exhibits a water contact angle of 150 ° or greater. The disposable absorbent article also includes a substrate having a surface, the surface being a fluorine-free hydrophobic matrix component; Filler particles, which are plant-based elements of a size in the range of 100 nm to 100 μm, the plant-based elements comprising micro- and nano-fibrillated cellulose; And a composition comprising water, wherein the hydrophobic matrix component is in an aqueous dispersion, wherein the surface exhibits a water contact angle of 150 ° or greater. |
