Abstract: Articles with surfaces that are both super-hydrophobic and super-oleophobic, and methods for making such articles are described. The article surfaces having contact angles of sessile drops of water and oil greater than 150° and low wetting angle hysteresis leading to low sliding angle of liquid water or oil drops. In some embodiments the water and oil contact angles are greater than 170°.

Abstract: A ceramic composition including a silsesquioxane polymer as a sintering agent in an amount of no more than 30% by weight. The composition is particularly useful as a ceramic cement for forming an external skin on a cordierite honeycomb substrate when the composition is composed of ground cordierite and polyaminopropylsilsesquioxane. A method of preparing the composition is also provided.
