Application:
Superhydrophobic coatings are of high importance for generating self-cleaning surfaces that can also prevent corrosion, biofouling, fogging, and icing.
Current superhydrophobic materials, often based on fluorinated compounds, pose environmental concerns, have high fabrication costs, and exhibit low stability.
Our innovation:
A new fabrication method for fluorine-free superhydrophobic coatings by using an individual commercially available amino acid as a building block, offering exciting prospects for advancements in superhydrophobic coatings
Advantages:
- Eco-Friendly: Uses non-toxic, biodegradable amino acid nanoparticles
- Versatile Application: Suitable for various substrate materials
- Cost-Effective: Simplified production process reduces manufacturing costs
- Superior Stability: Enhanced durability compared to traditional coatings
- Outstanding Performance: Delivers self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, anti-fogging, and ice prevention properties
Opportunity:
Our revolutionary coating technology offers transformative solutions across multiple industries. In the paint and coatings sector, it provides durable protective finishes that outperform traditional options. The food industry benefits from non-stick, hygienic surfaces, while agriculture gains protected greenhouse materials. Healthcare facilities can implement anti-microbial surfaces, and the robotics sector can enhance surface properties for specific applications. Marine applications benefit from superior anti-fouling protection.
We are seeking collaboration with companies interested in product development and optimization, manufacturing scale-up, application-specific customization, and commercial licensing.
