In this paper, silica was deposited on the soot film pre-coated glass via chemical vapor deposition. Through calcination at 500 degrees C with the assistance of 02 airflow, the soot film was removed and a novel robust fibered-silica network film was then decorated onto the glass substrate. After modification with fluorosilane, the surface water contact angle (WCA) was 166 and sliding angle (SA) was 1 which behaves a good self-cleaning for the as-prepared glass. And its average transmittance was still over 88% in visible wavelength. Moreover, this fibered-silica coating showed a strong tolerance for heavy water droplets,acid/alkali corrosion, salt solution immersion and thermal treatment. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
