Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Polymer-Based Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS)

Abstract

This effort evaluates bioinspired coatings for use in a top-coat type application to identify those technologies that may improve decontamination capabilities for painted surfaces. This report details results for evaluation of a slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) based on a textured fluoropolymer layer. Retention of the simulants paraoxon, methyl salicylate, dimethyl methylphosphate, and diisopropyl fluorophosphates following treatment of contaminated surfaces with a soapy water solution is reported. Wetting behaviors and target droplet diffusion on the surfaces are also discussed. Evaluation of the surface performance following VX, HD, and GD contamination is also reported.
