Abstract: There is disclosed a composition for forming a conformal gel coating to protect a substrate from various environments, wherein the composition comprises at least one film former, at least one additive and optionally at least one solvent. The composition is deformable, flowable, electrically insulating, and does not contain fluorine when applied as a coating. Gel coatings, methods of applying such coating to substrates, as well as the coated substrates are also disclosed. Non-limiting examples of such substrates include a printed circuit board, an assembled electronic device or an automotive part.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for creating durable lubricious surfaces (DLS) via interfacial modification. The DLS can be prepared via a combination of a solid, a liquid, and an additive that modifies the interface between the DLS and a contact liquid, resulting in an interfacial layer that acts as a lubricant and/or protective coating between the DLS and the contact liquid. The lubricating effect created between the additive and the contact liquid results in enhanced slipperiness, as well as the protective properties that can help with durability of the DLS.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising at least one film forming component including a water-based carrier, a resin and at least one additive where the coating composition does not contain a high volatile organic compound (VOC) content and the resin is present in an amount sufficient and configured to form a conformal film when applied to a substrate at room temperature is disclosed. A conformal coating, a method of making the coating composition, a method of using the coating composition to protect substrates such as electronic devices including printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), from unwanted contaminants. Substrates coated with such conformal coatings are also disclosed.

Abstract: An anti-fog material comprising a zwitterionic-doped hydrogel made up of charged monomers, at least a portion of which comprise zwitterionic monomers, uncharged hydrophilic monomers, and at least one crosslinking agent is disclosed. A composition for forming the hydrogel and a transparent, removable article comprising the anti-fog material are also disclosed. The article, which may be in the form of a film or decal, may comprise an active layer attached to a backing layer, the active layer comprising an anti-fog material described herein. A method of making a surface of a substrate resistant to fogging by applying the transparent and removable article thereto is also disclosed.

Abstract: A composition for forming a protective coating on an electronic device that is in the form of a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits both viscous and elastic properties, and that forms at least one coating that is hydrophobic, oleophobic, or oleophilic is disclosed. The viscous and elastic properties associated with the non-Newtonian fluid allows the composition to redistribute after being applied as a coating an electronic device. Methods for protecting an electronic device from liquid contaminants by applying the disclosed composition and electronic devices comprising the composition are also disclosed. An electronic device, such as a printed circuit board, having a film made of the composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for creating durable lubricious surfaces (DLS) via interfacial modification. The DLS can be prepared via a combination of a solid, a liquid, and an additive that modifies the interface between the DLS and a contact liquid, resulting in an interfacial layer that acts as a lubricant and/or protective coating between the DLS and the contact liquid. The lubricating effect created between the additive and the contact liquid results in enhanced slipperiness, as well as the protective properties that can help with durability of the DLS.
