Nano coating works by depositing ultra-thin layers of nanomaterials onto a substrate. This can be done through several methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and spray coating. These coatings form a uniform, protective layer that can impart desired properties to the substrate. For instance, a hydrophobic coating can make surfaces water-repellent, while an anti-corrosive coating can protect metals from rusting.
