Sustainable Plant‐Based Water Repellent Coatings Using Hydrophobic Pine and Palm Pollen
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A novel formulation strategy for creating superhydrophobic coatings using plant‐derived waxes and chemically treated pine and palm pollen. By employing acid modification, the hydrophobicity of the pollen surface is enhanced, resulting in water contact angles exceeding 150°.
