  • Antireflective synthetic brochosomal coatings
    Patent number: 11959187
    Abstract: Synthetic brochosomes can be prepared by disposing a monolayer of first polymer microspheres on a substrate and forming a layer of metal on the monolayer of the first polymer microspheres. A monolayer of second polymer microspheres is then disposed on the layer of metal to form a template. The second polymer microspheres are smaller than the first polymer microspheres. A brochosome material is then electrodeposited on the template. The brochosome material is selected from the group consisting of a metal, a metal oxide, a polymer or a hybrid thereof. The first polymer microspheres and the second polymer microspheres are then removed to form a coating of synthetic brochosomes of the brochosome material on the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: THE PENN STATE RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Tak-Sing Wong, Shikuan Yang, Nan Sun, Birgitt Boschitsch
