Superhydrophobic clothing

by SuperHydroPhobicCoating.com

The day you will not need to wash your clothes is coming closer. The researchers of the University of Zurich claim that they have discovered the perfect water repellent coat; the first super-hydrophobic coat. It is made of a fabric, which consists of polyester fibres coated with millions of tiny silicone filaments. It makes the water drops sitting on it, like the fakir on the spikes. The new super-hydrophobic fabric is durable at friction but it does not survive from the washing machine!

I am concerned about the ability of items to breathe with this coating applied. For example: If applied to a cell phone or other electrical device will the device be able to get air to prevent it from heating up causing it to overheat?
