Innovative Nanoscale Coating: Repelling Liquids Like Never Before

A groundbreaking nanoscale coating developed by University of Michigan engineers repels a range of liquids, offering notable applications from stain-resistant clothing to advanced waterproof paints. The coating, made up of 95% air, causes liquids to bounce off treated surfaces, providing protection for garments and enhancing performance for military and scientific usage. Notably, it addresses the limitations of previous coatings by preventing low surface tension liquids, like oils and solvents, from adhering. This innovation promises to revolutionize materials science and everyday products.

  6. Recent Events in Science New Nanoscale Coating Won't Get Wet; Repels Most Liquids A nanoscale coating that's at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated surface, according to the University of Michigan engineering researchers who developed it. In addition to super stain-resistant clothes, the coating could lead to breathable garments to protect soldiers and scientists from chemicals, and advanced waterproof paints that dramatically reduce drag on ships. Droplets of solutions that would normally damage either your shirt or your skin recoil when they touch the new "superomniphobic surface." "Virtually any liquid you throw on it bounces right off without wetting it. For many of the other similar coatings, very low surface tension liquids such as oils, alcohols, organic acids, organic bases and solvents stick to them and they could start to diffuse through and that's not what you want," said AnishTuteja, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, chemical engineering and macromolecular science and engineering.
