Cool stuff

I'm evaluating that and two competing superhydrophobic products for use in something we're working on. So far, pretty amazing contact angles but poor durability and two of the three formulations I'm working with are cloudy/hazy (one is optically clear and has decent transmission characteristics; I'm working on finding out how much autoflorescence there is). If they can get the durability of the coating improved it's going to be revolutionary for a number of applications. In the meantime, vapor deposition is a good option; check into it for things like cell phones. Not quite as good a contact angle but much better durability. You can send out parts to get coated if they're small enough.
