A superhydrophobic coating with excellent water repellence and gamma irradiation resistance was obtained by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modification. The effects of MWCNTs on the mechanical behaviour, water contact angle (WCA) and self-cleaning properties of the coatings were investigated. After 1.23×10 rad dose of gamma irradiation, WCA of the coating without MWCNTs modification (EPPM0) decreases from 150o to 140o and the adhesion reduces from 5B to 4B, respectively. While the coating (EPPM3) with 3wt% MWCNTs modification remains high WCA (152o), excellent adhesion (5B) and hardness (6H). The results of dust removal test suggest that the coating still maintains self-cleaning property after high dose gamma irradiation.
