Cover Story: Superhydrophobic (SH) coatings produced by a low-cost procedure starting from hydrophobic recyclable materials and green solvent have been tested in marine environment. In particular, Al substrate and glass have been evaluated in terms of exposition in shallow natural seawater for a period up to two months for studying the antifouling and anticorrosion behaviour of the SH coating.
