Article Synopsis
- Antiadhesive surfaces have become important for both scientific research and industrial applications, leading to the development of coatings that resist adhesion and smudging.
- The newly introduced silica/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite coating (SPNC) combines robust features such as high hardness (3.07 GPa), excellent adhesion, and thermal stability (up to 400 °C), making it a versatile option.
- SPNC also possesses qualities like high optical transparency, flexibility, resistance to bacteria and chemical corrosion, and is designed for scalable production, suggesting its potential for use in challenging environments.
