This study reports an environment-friendly waterborne hydrophobic bioepoxy coating (WHBC), prepared by introducing dual-scale SiO 2 nanoparticles and (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane into an aqueous mixture containing the isosorbide-based epoxy and a hydrophobic curing agent. The coatings were...
