The invention relates to composite particles, coatings, and coated articles. An article is provided at least partially covered with a coating defining a slippery surface. The coating comprises a layer of particulate material bound to the article and a substantially immobilised lubricant at least partially covering and penetrating into the layer of composite particulate material. The composite particulate material comprises a carrier particle at least partially coated with a hydrophobic material. A further article is provided at least partially covered with a coating comprising a layer of the composite particulate material bound to said article. This is useful in preparation of the article having a coating defining a slippery surface. Methods of preparing the coating and the articles are also provided.
An article at least partially covered with a coating defining a slippery surface, the coating comprising a layer of a composite particulate material bound to said article and a substantially immobilized lubricant at least partially covering and penetrating into said layer of composite particulate material, wherein the composite particulate material comprises carrier particles at least partially coated with a hydrophobic material.
An article at least partially covered with a coating comprising a layer of composite particulate material bound to said article, wherein the composite particulate material comprises three populations of carrier particles each having different average particle sizes, at least one population of the carrier particles being at least partially coated with a hydrophobic material;
A method of preparing a coating defining a slippery surface on an article comprising, binding a composite particulate material to the article to form a superhydrophobic layer on the article, and applying a lubricant to said layer such that the lubricant at least partially covers said particulate material and penetrates at least partially into said layer.
A method of preparing a coating defining a slippery surface on an article, the method comprising combining a lubricant with a composite particulate material, and applying a layer of the combined lubricant and composite particulate material to a surface of the article to form a slippery surface wherein the lubricant is substantially immobilized and at least partially covering and penetrating into said layer of composite particulate material.
