Superhydrophobic Multifunctional glass was fabricated by coating a transparent styreneethylene- butylene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) coating on the glass. Herein, SiO2 particles and UV absorber (UV326) were used to ensure the multifunctional properties. Test results indicate that the water contact angle was enhanced from hydrophilic (14º) to superhydrophobic state (163º) and the prepared glass showed excellent self-cleaning and antifouling effects. Meanwhile, the multifunctional glass can shield 98 % UV light and still retains 34.9 % visible light transmittance. Haoxuan Sun et al., Progress in Organic Coatings, 2021, Vol. 158. ...
