Discarded silicone products can be recycled to prepare superhydrophobic powder by simply burning and smashing. The powder can be used to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface with mechanical durability such that the superhydrophobicity was kept after 50 abrasion cycles. A robust electroconductive superhydrophobic surface can also be obtained by this simple method.
