Super-hydrophobic thin films were prepared on glass by combining embedded nano-silica, subsequent fluoroalkylsilane coating. The hydrophobic capability of film depended on the concentration of nano-silica suspension. And the super-hydrophobic thin film shows the high transmittance in visible light wavelength.
