PREPARATION OF MECHANICALLY STABLE SUPERAMPHIPHOBIC COATINGS VIA COMBINING PHASE SEPARATION OF ADHESIVE AND FLUORINATED SIO2 FOR ANTI-ICING

Preparation of Mechanically Stable Superamphiphobic Coatings via Combining Phase Separation of Adhesive and Fluorinated SiO2 for Anti-Icing

Superamphiphobic coatings have widespread application potential in various fields, e.g., anti-icing, anti-corrosion and self-cleaning, but are seriously limited by poor mechanical stability.Here, mechanically stable superamphiphobic coatings were fabricated by spraying the suspension composed of phase-separated silicone-modified polyester (SPET) ad
