The droplet‐assisted growth and shaping (DAGS) method is used to synthe- size silicone nanoflament–based superhydrophobic coatings. Dip coating of superhydrophobic substrates in carbon nanofber suspensions is performed to prepare superhydrophobic/conductive coatings. The prepared coatings combine electric conductivity, optical transparency, and superhydrophobicity with low sliding angles. The coatings show stability to water immersion and exposure to extreme humid conditions. Also, they exhibit good chemical resistance after several days of immersion in acidic and basic aqueous solutions. A key factor of such coatings is the mechanical durability which is improved by the addition of Paraflm‐M DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.201900041 Posted at the Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich ZORA URL: https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-173994 Journal Article Accepted Version Originally published at: Saddiqi, Naeem‐ul‐Hasan; Seeger, Stefan (2019).
