Bioinspired Surface Treatments for Improved Decontamination: Adaptive Surface Technologies

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1071163 | Open PDF

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 slippery liquid-infused porous surface SLIPS treatments. Retention of the simulants paraoxon, methyl salicylate, dimethyl methylphosphate, and diisopropyl fluorophosphates following treatment of contaminated surfaces with a soapy water solution is reported. Wetting behaviors and target droplet diffusion on the surfaces are also discussed.
