Abstract
Hydrophobic coating systems, suspensions for forming hydrophobic coatings, and methods for fabricating hydrophobic coatings are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a hydrophobic coating system comprises a substrate and a hydrophobic coating disposed on the substrate. The hydrophobic coating comprises agglomerates formed of a fluorinated polymer and a plurality of chemically inert particles having an average size of no greater than about 0.1 μm. The hydrophobic coating exhibits contact angles greater than about 90 degrees.
