This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a novel heat-resistant easy-clean coating that can effectively be applied to surfaces of oven cavities and pipes. Ovens and heat-exchangers, as the primary application domains of this technology, present an estimated annual market size of $40.9 million and $19.4 billion, respectively. The technology will provide a safe and environmentally-friendly solution for the unmet market demand for heat-resistant easy-clean coatings. In addition to its impact on the aforesaid market, the proposed development in Phase II will be an implementation of a new generation of non-stick coatings that can provide answers to a broad range of existing technological challenges. The development project is based on patent-pending technology for scalable and affordable manufacturing of textured coatings using existing electroplating facilities in the industry. The proposed technology will create a new generation of coatings that provide non-stick functionality where the existing nonstick coatings fall short. The existing non-stick coatings decompose at high temperatures and may produce toxic fumes. The challenge for the existing non-stick coatings is even greater when application is needed for hard-to-reach areas, such as inside of oven chambers and pipes. The anticipated outcome of the Phase II proposal is an inorganics-based and PTFE-free non-stick coating that can provide more thermal-resistance than existing non-stick coatings and can be applied to different surfaces through a scalable and affordable route.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)二期项目将开发一种新型的耐热、易于清洁的涂层，可以有效地应用于烤箱型腔和管道的表面。烤箱和热交换器作为这项技术的主要应用领域，估计年市场规模分别为4090万美元和194亿美元。该技术将为市场对耐热、易清洁涂料的需求提供一种安全、环保的解决方案。除了对上述市场的影响外，第二阶段的拟议开发还将实施新一代不粘涂料，以应对广泛的现有技术挑战。该开发项目基于正在申请专利的技术，该技术利用行业现有的电镀设施，可扩展并负担得起纹理涂层的制造。这项拟议的技术将创造新一代涂料，在现有不粘涂料不足的地方提供不粘功能。现有的不粘涂层在高温下分解，可能会产生有毒烟雾。当需要在难以触及的区域(如炉室和管道内部)涂装时，现有不粘涂料面临的挑战就更大了。第二阶段提案的预期结果是一种无机物基无机物和不含聚四氟乙烯的不粘涂层，它可以提供比现有不粘涂层更好的耐热性，并可以通过可扩展和负担得起的路线应用于不同表面。
