Low Surface Energy Coatings from Waterborne Nano-Dispersions of Polymer Complexes

Abstract

Strategies for obtaining low surface energy coating materials; include those for realizing surfaces rich in CF3 groups. Of these, ones that are low in cost and environmentally friendly (for example, avoid organic solvents) have a good chance of being introduced for everyday use. It is shown that waterborne nanodispersions with supramolecular ordering—produced from a commercially available polyelectrolyte and a fluorinated
