Abstract: Abstract In the present work, environment friendly non-fluorinated superhydrophobic composite coatings were developed using naturally available carnauba wax from palm tree, Copernicia prunifera. The hierarchically structured coating morphologies were composed of micro-scale protrusions along with… read more here.
