Superhydrophobic Materials

Tech ID: 16B177

Competitive Advantages

  •     Gas permeable
  •     Maintains porosity and permeability
  •     Resists all kinds of liquids
  •     Oleophobic

Summary

Our inventors have developed a method to impart superhyrdrophobicity or amphiphobicity on porous materials while maintaining gas permeability. This property is a pioneering invention to protect crystalline porous materials under various chemical environments. The treated porous materials resist all kinds of liquids, but allow the adsorption/permeation of gases. These materials may have many important applications in a variety of fields such as microelectronics, medicine and military.
