Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Ultra-Smooth Hybrid Coatings II

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 surface treatment prepared by attaching liquid-like PDMS chains oriented at the surface using a modified application methodology. Retention of the simulants paraoxon, methylsalicylate, dimethyl methylphosphonate, diisopropyl fluorophosphate, and 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide following treatment of contaminated surfaces with a soapy water solution is reported. Wetting behaviors and target droplet diffusion on the surfaces are also discussed.
