The paper presents the synthesis of newly eco-resin based on coconut oil for superhydrophobic coating. Superhydrophobicity of the coating provide a self-cleaning or water-repellent characteristic that prevents peeling, thereby extend the life expectancy of the coating. The use of newly synthesized e...
