Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which
