Compositions and processes are disclosed for forming hydrophobic coatings and lubricant-infused surface coatings. Coatings may be applied to various substrates without prior chemical or temperature treatment of the substrates and over large and irregular surfaces. Coatings are self-healing, anti-fouling, and have enhanced lifetimes. 1. A process , comprising the step of:dispensing a paintable fluid comprising porous particles of a first material of a first selected size and particles of a second material of a second smaller size combined in a selected polymer to a substrate forming a hydrophobic coating thereon with a selected surface morphology.2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the surface morphology includes mounded features of a first selected size comprised of aggregates of the first particles overlaid with the second particles that provide the coating with a nanotextured surface.3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the paintable fluid further includes a pore-forming material therein configured to enhance the porosity within the polymer matrix of the hydrophobic coating.4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the first particles comprise mesoporous or nanoporous silica claim 1 , the second particles comprise nanoparticles or nanofibers of fumed silica claim 1 , and the polymer is a polydisiloxane polymer.5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing includes dispensing the paintable fluid with a solvent claim 1 , a gas claim 1 , or a combination thereof.6. The process of claim 1 , further including delivering a lubricant to a surface of the hydrophobic coating to form a lubricant-infused surface (LIS) coating thereon.7. The process of claim 6 , wherein the lubricant is delivered to the surface of the hydrophobic coating through a wicking material in fluid contact with a lubricant reservoir attached to the substrate.8. The process of claim 6 , wherein the lubricant is delivered to the surface of the hydrophobic coating through a capillary device in fluid ...
