A durable coating composition includes a silicate binder, a filler, and a crosslinking agent. The coating composition can reduce ice adherence and minimize ice accumulation through inclusion of a film forming lubricant. Articles and overhead conductors coated with such coating compositions are also disclosed.

A composition contains silicic acid polycondensate modified with organic groups, as a coating for medicines and foodstuffs or as a component in such a coating. The organic groups are partially or wholly biodegradeable. A method for producing a product coated with the composition and a coated product are further described.

The present invention relates to a method for forming a layered silicate/polymer composite, the composite comprising individual exfoliated silicate layers separated in a continuous polymer matrix, wherein the polymer is a hydrophobic polymer, the method comprising: exfoliating sheet silicate in water to form a silicate suspension; replacing the water in the silicate suspension by an organic solvent to form a silicate/organic solvent suspension; contacting the silicate/organic solvent suspension with a solution of a hydrophobic polymer precursor in an organic solvent to form a silicate/polymer precursor suspension; coating the silicate/polymer precursor suspension on a substrate; removing the organic solvents; curing the hydrophobic polymer precursor of the coating of the silicate/polymer precursor; and annealing the cured coating to form the layered silicate/polymer composite on the substrate.
