A method of making pigments, such as special effect pigment includes forming a first slurry including a substrate, a polymer precursor, and a radical initiator; forming a solution including an emulsifier; and combining the first slurry and the solution so that the substrate is encapsulated by a first coating. Special effect pigments formed by the method are also disclosed.

The invention to which this application relates is apparatus and a method for applying coatings to improve the ability to provide Oleophobic and/or Hydrophilic surfaces on an item and the coating includes particles and/or nano particles to enhance the performance characteristics of the coating.

The present disclosure relates to a heat transfer tube comprising nanostructures formed on the surface, and a method for manufacturing the same, and by forming nanostructures on a heat transfer tube surface, a superhydrophobic surface may be obtained under a high temperature environment as well. In addition, superhydrophobicity may be enhanced by further forming a hydrophobic coating layer on the nanostructure-formed heat transfer tube surface. By using a method of forming nanostructures by dipping the heat transfer tube surface, complex shapes may be coated, and therefore, a plurality of assembled heat transfer tubes may be coated, and damages occurring during a process of assembling the heat transfer tube after coating may be prevented.
