Flying in the face of intuition, scientists have created a coating material that is water-loving when dry but repels water once wet.
And because of its size (researchers have created a coating with a thickness of only one millionth of a millimeter) and broad applicability, researchers say it can be applied to a number of materials, including glass and silicon, without altering their outward appearance.
"I wanted to create a coat that looked good with the dress without being exactly a matching look," Ms. Rose said in a telephone interview from her home in Sullivan County.

Chemists looking for the next best thing in clothing coatings have tried several tricks in recent years to create a coating with similar properties in the laboratory.
Rather than fine dry crumbs, I prefer to make soft crumbs from a day-old French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, which creates a coating with a little texture.
