20 Claims

1. A hydrophobic coated substrate, comprising: a substrate comprising a hydrophobic surface film wherein the film on the top surface is characterizable by at least two of the following four characteristics: a high shear strength having the best score on a 0 to 5 scale as measured according to ASTM D3359; a water contact angle of at least 110°; at least two different alternating, carbon-based moieties in a chain having a pattern of ABAB; and birefringence or other anisotropic interaction with polarizable light or x-ray diffraction (XRD) that shows higher order structure or x-ray reflectivity (XRR) that shows higher order structure.
