Latest review on self-cleaning coatings is available
Tuesday, 18 October 2011
The article focuses on hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings, their working mechanism, fabrication techniques and the areas where self-cleaning technology can be implemented.
A new review article by Singapore scientists summarizes the key areas of self-cleaning coatings, primarily focusing on various materials that are widely used in recent research and also in commercial applications. The scope of this article orbits around hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings, their working mechanism, fabrication techniques that enable the development of such coatings, various functions like anti-icing, electro-wetting, surface switchability and the areas where self-cleaning technology can be implemented. Moreover, different characterization techniques and material testing feasibilities are also analyzed and discussed. This feature article is being published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2011, 21, pp. 16304-16322.
