Surface chemistry is a major factor that determines the wettability of materials, and devising broadly applicable coating strategies afford tunable selective surface properties required for next-generation materials remains challenge. Herein, we report fluorinated metal–organic coatings display water-wetting oil-repelling characteristics, wetting phenomenon different from responsive induced by ...

A thermodynamic study of the adsorption of an epoxy acrylate resin used for UV-cured coatings on two different anti corrosion pretreatments on aluminium alloys relevant to aerospace industry has been undertaken. Aluminium alloy Al2219 specimens, treated with an inorganic chromate based conversion coating (Alodine 1200S) and an organic titanium based conversion coating (Nabutan STI/310), were im...

Strict protection of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic materials from direct contact with ambient moisture and oxygen is one of the major challenges in the development of flexible OLED displays and other flexible electronic devices. This problem is typically addressed by the use of polymeric substrates with multilayered barrier coatings comprising alternating organi...

1,2-Dichloroethane, also called ethylene dichloride, is a volatile, clear, manufactured liquid that is not found naturally in the environment. It has a pleasant smell and a sweet taste and burns with a smoky flame. 1,2-Dichloroethane is readily soluble in water and several organic solvents such as alcohol, chloroform, and ether. 1,2-Dichloroethane is one of the most widely produced chemicals in...

The selection of sensitive coatings is a critical task in the design and implementation of chemical sensors using coated thickness shear mode quartz crystal resonators (QCRs) for detection in liquid environments. This design or selection is performed through a study of the sorption process in terms of the partition coefficients of the analytes in the coatings. The partition coefficient, which i...
