Recent Events in ScienceNew Nanoscale Coating Won't Get Wet; Repels Most Liquids

A nanoscale coating that's at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated

surface, according to the University of Michigan engineering researchers who developed it.

In addition to super stain-resistant clothes, the coating could lead to breathable garments to protect

soldiers and scientists from chemicals, and advanced waterproof paints that dramatically reduce

drag on ships.Droplets of solutions that would normally damage

either your shirt or your skin recoil when they touch the new "superomniphobic surface."

"Virtually any liquid you throw on it bounces right off without wetting it. For many of the other similar coatings, very low surface tension liquids such as

oils, alcohols, organic acids, organic bases and solvents stick to them and they could start to diffuse

through and that's not what you want," said Anish Tuteja, assistant professor of materials science and

engineering, chemical engineering and macromolecular science and engineering.
