Skin-Inspired Flame-Retardant and Superhydrophobic Coating.

Caption

A biomimetic intumescent flame-retardant and superhydrophobic coating is obtained by a facile spraying process, offering a feasible, cost-efficient, and sustainable strategy for constructing durable fireproofing materials. The biomimetic coating achieves an LOI of 85.30% and demonstrates excellent self-extinguishing with a static water CA of 165°, offering significant potential for scalable deployment in safety-critical environments.
