The objective of the CHOPIN project is to develop coatings with hydrophobic and/or omniphobic properties against insect contamination.  Different technologies are being considered in the project to obtain hydrophobic surfaces : wet-chemistry deposition (Sol-gel, Ionogel, UV-Varnish) and dry technologies (Ion Implantation and Dry Spray). These are sustainable solutions reducing CO2 emission.
