Dew accelerates the soiling rates and increases the dust adhesion. To use dew for self-cleaning, a fluorinated ethylene propylene coating was applied to suppress the reactions between dust and glass as well as to facilitate the dew to condense as mobile droplets. An array of rectangular hydrophilic channels in the coating increases the condensation rates and droplet slide-off diameters. The durability of the coating was evaluated by artificial UV weathering. Four different types of soilants were used in the artificial soiling tests to assess the effect of soilant type and surface properties on the soiling rates and self-cleaning efficacy under the simulated dew conditions. Soil deposition and self-cleaning mechanisms are being reported.
