Slippery Alkoxysilane Coatings for Antifouling Applications [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023 Herein, we report the wettability and antifouling behavior of a range of different siloxane coatings on plastic and glass substrates. The films investigated are prepared using trimethoxysilane precursors with different alkyl chain lengths (1-18 C atoms) in order to study how the nature of the hydrophobic group affects the different parameters used to ...
