We synthesized novel TiO2/ZnO-phosphate (TP/ZP) and polymethyl hydrogen siloxane (PMHS)-based two-layer hydrophobic coatings with potential antimicrobial properties tuned for application on steel substrates. The mathematical method of topological data analysis was applied to surface roughness data. Wetting characterizations showed stable hydrophobic behavior of the two-layer coated samples. Through tribological characterization, we compared the friction behavior of uncoated steel samples and steel samples coated with different coating materials. The coefficient of friction of uncoated base materials (ranging from 0.221 to 0.269) and the two-layer hydrophobic coatings (ranging from 0.234 to 0.273) indicated that the coatings confer hydrophobic properties to the substrates without a notable change in the friction behavior. We observed the correlations between the wetting and friction behaviors and the average roughness of the coated samples. Analysis of the micrographs of the scratched surfaces revealed preliminary information about the durability and abrasion resistance of the coatings.
