What is claimed is: 1. A method of preparing a hydrophobic composite, the method comprising:applying an adherent layer onto a core material;subsequently coating said core material with a hydrophobic powder, said hydrophobic powder including at least one impure element having a hydrocarbon chain attached thereto, to thereby provide the hydrophobic composite,said adherent layer bonding said hydrophobic powder to said core material,said adherent layer comprising a water-based gluing agent and said applying comprising admixing said core material with an aqueous adherent mixture containing said water-based gluing agent and an aqueous solvent, while removing all of said aqueous solvent from said mixture of said core material and said adherent mixture, to thereby provide said core material having applied thereon said adherent layer.
