The hybrid coating is formed from a combined aqueous sol with least one hydrolyzable silane and at least one hydrolyzable metal oxide precursor where the only organic solvents present are those liberated upon hydrolysis of the silanes and metal oxide precursors. In one embodiment an inorganic-organic hybrid coating is formed by combination of a sol, prepared by the hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane and γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane with an excess of water, and a sol, prepared by the hydrolysis of titanium tetrabutoxide and γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane with a deficiency of water. A plastic substrate can be coated with the combined sol and the combined sol gelled to a thickness of at least 5 μm with heating to less than 150° C.

    摘要: Water structure breakers are included with dispersants in high solids aqueous slurries to stabilize the aqueous solution structure over a long period of time. The incorporation of a dispersant and a water structure breaker effectively inhibits the viscosity increase typically associated with high solid slurries, such as ground calcium carbonate (GCC) slurries, The inclusion of a small amount of water structure breaker inhibits change in the solution structure over that of a typical slurry lacking the water structure breaker, allowing longer storage and distribution periods for such slurries.

    摘要: A fibrous properties-switching article comprises a mat consisting of fibers having a fiber diameter of 2 microns or less. The fibers comprise a polymer, copolymer, polymer blend, or polymer network, wherein the fibers have a diameter of 2 gm or less. The surface and/or bulk property of the mat changes over a range of temperatures, wherein the polymer, copolymer, polymer blend, or polymer network undergoes a structural change over the range of temperatures. The fiber mat is formed by electrospinning. In an exemplary embodiment, a blend of polystyrene and poly((N-isopropyl acrylamide) (b1-PS/PNIPA) in dimethylformamide (DMF) is electrospun to form a mat consisting of fibers with a diameter less than 2 μm that shows a transition from a superhydrophilic surface to a nearly superhydrophobic surface over a temperature range from 30° C. to 45° C. A fiber mat formed by electrospinning a DMF solution comprising poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-methacylicacid) (PNIPAMAA), comprises fibers having a diameter less than 2 μm and are cross linked after spinning. The crosslinked PNIPAMAA, (x1-PNIPAMAA) fiber mat displays a transition from a hydrophilic surface to a nearly hydrophobic surface over a temperature range from 30° C. to 45° C.

    摘要: A superhydrophobic and oleophobic thermoplastic article has a surface with a multiplicity of re-entrant structures extending from the article's surface where a conformal coating comprising a perfluoroalkane covers at least the distal portion of the re-entrant structures. The thermoplastic article can be prepared by contacting a heated thermoplastic and a mold with voids with a sufficient pressure to cause the thermoplastic to extend into the voids to form features that upon removal of the mold results in re-entrant structures. The surface having the re-entrant structures is conformally coated with a compound comprising a perfluoroalkane. Alternately microparticles or nanoparticles and a resin can be deposited on substrate and cured to adhere or mechanically fix the particles where a portion thereof forms re-entrant structures. The microparticles or nanoparticles can comprise a perfluoroalkane or can be conformally coated with a compound comprising a perfluoroalkane, to render the surface superhydrophobic and oleophobic.

    摘要: A thermoplastic article has a surface with a multiplicity of re-entrant structures extending from the article's surface where a conformal coating comprising a perfluoroalkane covers at least the distal portion of the re-entrant structures to render the article superhydrophobic and oleophobic. A method to prepare the article having a superhydrophobic and oleophobic surface comprises contacting a heated thermoplastic and a mold with voids having at least one dimension of 100 nm to 10 μm with a sufficient pressure to cause the thermoplastic to extend into the voids to form features that upon removal of the mold from the thermoplastic article results in re-entrant structures having at least one dimension of 100 nm to 5 μm. The surface having the re-entrant structures is conformally coated with a compound comprising a perfluoroalkane. Another method to prepare the article having a superhydrophobic and oleophobic surface comprises deposition of microparticles or nanoparticles and a resin on a surface of a substrate and curing the resin such that the microparticles or nanoparticles are adhered or mechanically fixed to the substrate with a portion of the microparticles or nanoparticles extending from the surface to form re-entrant structures. The microparticles or nanoparticles can comprise a perfluoroalkane or can be conformally coated with a compound comprising a perfluoroalkane, to render the surface superhydrophobic and oleophobic.
