In order to improve the waterproof and mildew resistance of electronic equipment, a superhydrophobic coating was prepared on a circuit board. First, hexadecyl trimethoxysilane was used to modify the nano silica and nano zinc oxide particles, and then the modified nanoparticles were mixed with the silica sol. Then the superhydrophobic coating was prepared on the surface of the printed circuit board by a spraying process. The preparation technology and physical and chemical properties of the coating were studied. The contact angle of the final sample can reach 169.47°, the sliding angle can reach 1.2°, it has good acid and alkali corrosion resistance, resistance to NaCl, self-cleaning performance and antimildew performance.
