📝 Abstract

Data is presented that confirms that hydrophobic coatings reduce friction between objects and water. The results show that the average time it took for the ball with the hydrophobic coating traveled at an average of about 6 inches per second. The ball with the hydrophilic coating traveled at a slower pace, moving at an average of about 5 inches per second and the ball without a coating traveled at an average of about 4.8 inches per second.
