Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Deposition Variations

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 commercially available, transparent, surface treatment. Retention of the simulants paraoxon, methyl salicylate, dimethyl methylphosphate, and diisopropyl fluorophosphates following treatment of contaminated surfaces with a soapy water solution is reported. Reflectance characteristics, wetting behaviors, and target droplet diffusion on the surfaces are also discussed.
