A Cost-effective Method to Fabricate a Super-non-wetting Self-cleaning Transparent Emulsion Paint Coating

The procedure to fabricate an industrially-producible, practically-applicable and easily-reconstructible transparent paint coating with luminescence is introduced step- -by-step in this paper. Without chemical modification, an ultrahydrophobic transparent paint coating with luminescence can be readily created using cost-effective commercially available materials. Grinding the ultrahydrophobic transparent paint coating surfaces using appropriate emery papers can generate appropriate surface roughness and thereby endows the coating surfaces with super-non-wettability and self-cleaning property. The applications of the coating to the external walls of buildings can provide the walls with self-cleaning property, decorate the walls and save outdoor illumination power during the night.
