Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Cyanoacrylate 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 top coat applications based on an approach adapted from published literature. The coatings are use a mixture of perfluorohexyltrichlorosilane (PFTS) and either nbutyl2-cyanoacrylate or ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate. The approach can be used to produce multi-re-entrant surfaces on fabrics. Here, the materials were deposited on polyurethane paint coated aluminum coupons; the method is not expected to produce texture on the surfaces. Retention of the simulants paraoxon, methyl salicylate, 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.
