Superhydrophobic polymer–nanoparticle composite (SPNC) materials are considered to be superior to their molecular equivalents, due to their enhanced functional properties. In this work, we systematically formulate a library of SPNC coatings and demonstrate an interchangeable three component system. Whereby, implementing key formulation principles enables the use of a wide range of polymer and nanoparticulate materials to generate highly water repellent coatings (both solution-based and ‘solvent-free’). Herein, we report how alternating formulation composition can impact overall functionality of the resultant material, and explore the effects this has on; water repellency, ability to self-clean and UV resilience, for various systems. Additionally, confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to shed light on the differences in composite architecture between thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers. When designing coatings for applied self-cleaning technologies, such as; paints, external building materials and industrial processes, these are crucial factors to consider to ensure coatings remain functional throughout their lifecycle.

憎水材料制造的一般配方方法：成分如何影响回弹性和功能性

超疏水聚合物-纳米颗粒复合材料（SPNC）由于其增强的功能特性而被认为优于其分子等效物。在这项工作中，我们系统地制定了SPNC涂料库，并演示了可互换的三组分系统。因此，实施关键的配方原则可以使用多种聚合物和纳米颗粒材料来产生高度防水的涂层（基于溶液和“无溶剂”）。本文中，我们报告了交替的配方组成如何影响最终材料的整体功能，并探讨了其对材料的影响。防水性，自清洁能力和紫外线回弹力，适用于各种系统。此外，共聚焦荧光显微镜用于揭示热固性聚合物和热塑性聚合物在复合材料结构上的差异。设计用于应用的自清洁技术的涂料时，例如；油漆，外部建筑材料和工业过程，这些是确保涂料在其整个生命周期中保持功能性的重要考虑因素。
