 This study investigated the effects of a superhydrophobic coating on the ability of a ceramic material to resist water ingress. The coating was composed of titanium dioxide nanoparticles doped with zinc phosphate, which was applied to the ceramic material. The coating was tested by measuring the amount of water absorbed by the material over time. The results showed that the superhydrophobic coating significantly reduced the amount of water absorbed compared to a plain ceramic material. Additionally, the coating prevented water from entering the material's pores, while allowing it to pass through the outer layer of the coating.
