Abstract
A coated substrate may provide soft touch and superhydrophobicity. In example implementations herein, a substrate may be provided with a microstructure on at least a portion of at least one surface of the substrate. A first, water-based soft touch coating may be on at least a portion of the microstructure. A second, solvent-based superhydrophobic coating may be on at least a portion of the first coating.
Claims15
A coated substrate, comprising:
- a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a microstructure on at least a portion of at least one surface of the substrate;
- a first coating on at least a portion of the microstructure, wherein the first coating is a water-based soft touch coating;
- and
- a second coating on at least a portion of the first coating, wherein the second coating is a solvent-based superhydrophobic coating.

A method of coating a substrate, comprising:
- providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a microstructure on at least a portion of at least one surface of the substrate;
- depositing a first coating on at least a portion of the microstructure, wherein the first coating is a water-based soft touch coating;
- and
- depositing a second coating on at least a portion of the first coating, wherein the second coating is a solvent-based superhydrophobic coating and wherein the second coating is thinner than the first coating.
1 more element
A computing device, comprising a processor and a coated casing, wherein the casing comprises:
- a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a microstructure on at least a portion of at least one surface of the substrate;
- a first coating on at least a portion of the microstructure, wherein the first coating is a water-based soft touch coating;
- and
- a second coating on at least a portion of the first coating, wherein the second coating is a solvent-based superhydrophobic soft touch coating and wherein the second coating is thinner than the first coating.
