Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Cyanoacrylate Coatings

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 top coat applications based on an approach adapted from published literature. The coatings are use a mixture of perfluorohexyltrichlorosilane (PTFS) and either n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate or ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate. 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.
