This work aimed to investigate the preparation and properties of superhydrophobic glass surface. A translucent emulsion was prepared using nano SiO2 and ethanol as raw materials, and then the translucent emulsion was sprayed onto a common glass surface. The properties of prepared glass surface were studied by contact angle and transmittance testing instruments. A transparent superhydrophobic glass surface was obtained. The water contact angle and sliding angle of the superhydrophobic glass surface were 158°±2° and 1°, respectively. When the mass fraction of SiO2 was 1.5% , the as-prepared superhydrophobic surfaces showed excellent water repellency, anti-pollution and transparency. Fabricating transparent superhydrophobic surface on glass substrate could greatly enhance the water repellency and anti-pollution of glass. Superhydrophobic glass surface was easier to clean. It would be helpful to reduce the consumptions of water and detergent when the glass-based packaging materials were cleaned. It would also be helpful to enhance the ecology and environmental protection effect of glass-based packaging materials.
