Abstract

Abstract : Inspired by superhydrophobic self‐cleaning lotus leaves, a facile method for constructing superhydrophobic coating was proposed. Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework‐8 nanoparticles are mixed with polyvinylidene fluoride colloid to fabricate a dual hierarchical structure, and POTS is added to reduce the surface free energy. The superhydrophobic coating with excellent antibacterial activity has a great potential in self‐cleaning and antibacterial fields.
