Bio-Inspired Fluorine-Free Self-Cleaning Polymer Coatings

Bio-Inspired Fluorine-Free Self-Cleaning Polymer Coatings

Bio-inspired fluorine-free and self-cleaning polymer coatings were developed using a combination of self-assembly and UV-printing processes. Nasturtium and lotus leaves were selected as natural template surfaces. A UV-curable acrylate oligomer and three acrylated siloxane comonomers with different m...
