  • METHOD OF SURFACE CHEMICAL FUNCTIONALIZATION FOR DEVELOPING OF FUNCTIONAL HYDROPHOBIC SURFACES
    Publication number: 20230063903
    Abstract: A photochemical method for chemical modification of a hydrophilic material to provide the surface of the material with hydrophobic properties. The method comprises functionalizing the surface to provide an amine group thereon, and then functionalizing the surface photo-catalytically to provide perfluoroalkanamide thereon. Alternatively, the method comprises reacting a silane moiety functional group on the surface of the material with a perfluoroalkylhalide in the presence of a photo-catalyst and light.
