This project aims to develop novel fluorine-free superhydrophobic (water-repelling) surfaces, made from readily available non-toxic and economical branched low surface energy materials (LSEMs). These have important advantages over the existing LSEMs, including biodegradability, environmental acceptance and are cheaper to mass produce compared with current superhydrophobic materials which are typically made using fluorocarbons. Fluorinated compounds have significant environmental risks due to bio-persistence and bio-accumulation, and are also extremely costly. The applications of low surface energy surfaces vary from protective or anti-adhesion coatings and anti-fouling to environmental and biomedical applications. The research will focus on diverse areas from fundamental science to applications that rely on LSEMs.

该项目旨在开发新型无氟超疏水（防水）表面，由易得的无毒和经济的支化低表面能材料（LSEM）制成。与现有的LSEM相比，这些具有重要的优势，包括生物降解性，环境接受性，并且与通常使用氟碳化合物制成的当前超疏水材料相比，大规模生产更便宜。由于生物持久性和生物累积性，氟化化合物具有重大的环境风险，而且成本极高。低表面能表面的应用从保护性或抗粘附涂层和防污到环境和生物医学应用。该研究将侧重于从基础科学到依赖LSEM的应用的各个领域。
