\caption{Optimised combinations of hydrophobic-SiO\textsubscript{2} (H-SiO\textsubscript{2}) particles, fatty acid and solvent loadings for water repellent coating slurries. SiO\textsubscript{2} nanoparticles (10.00 wt\%) were functionalised with their respective fatty acid (2.00 wt\%)/ethanol (88.00 wt\%) mixture.}
