Antibiocorrosive Hybrid Materials with High Durability

Abstract

We have developed novel antibiocorrosive multifunctional hybrid materials based on functionalizedperfluoroalkylmethacrylate copolymerswith epoxy groups in main chainsand selected biologically active compounds.The hybrids are transparent, showgood adhesion to various surfaces (plastic, wood),high viscoelastic recovery in scratch testing,low wear rates and glass transitions above 323 K. No phase separation is seen in scanning electron micrography. Enhanced mechanical strength and good abrasion resistance are advantages for uses of our protective and antibiocorrosive coatings in various applications including protection of cultural heritage.
