Abstract

As a result of our investigations, water-repellant composites have been synthesized to protect surfaces composed of glass and construction materials (ceramic, marble, granite, etc.) from atmospheric corrosion. Methods have been determined for preparing the surface before depositing the protective coatings. A technology has been developed for creating the protective water-repellant coatings of items composed of glass, ceramic, and other materials.
