Studying the nature of surface reconstruction in foul release coatings and their effect on coating performance.
We propose a series of air and liquid neutron reflectivity experiments of monolayer and thin film perfluoropolyether-polyethylene oxide block co-polymer coatings. The objective of this experiment is to determine the chemical nature of PFPE-PEO surfaces in liquid and to study surface reconstruction effects with changing interface. This experiment will further our understanding of the anti-fouling properties of these polymers in water, identifying the properties required for effective foul-release materials thus, enabling the design of improved systems for resisting biofouling.
