Abstract: Self-cleaning coatings show the advantages of economic, aesthetic, and environmental friendly performance, widely used in many sectors including high-rise buildings,curtain walls, bridges, vehicles and wind power generation facilities etc, The environmental friendly and resource-saving waterborne self-cleaning coatings meet the requirements of sustainable development, and have huge development potential. The film-forming mechanism and methods of the self-cleaning surface based on the “lotus effect" and the status and progress of the hydrophobic self-cleaning coatings were summarized.

Key words: lotus effect, hydrophobic, waterborne self-cleaning

摘要： 自清洁涂料具有经济、美观、环保等优点,广泛应用于高层建筑、幕墙、桥梁及汽车、风力发电等许多领域。环境友好、资源节约的水性自清洁涂料符合可持续发展要求,具有巨大发展潜力。文中主要介绍了基于"荷叶效应"的自清洁表面形成原理与方法,综述了疏水性自清洁涂料的研究现状与进展。
