Self-Replenishing Surfaces

Self-Replenishing Surfaces

Damaged surfaces self‐replenish their chemical composition by the spontaneous re‐orientation of functional groups chemically bonded to the polymer network. The repair of the surface chemistry leads to the recovery of surface functionality. This self‐replenishing approach is suitable to recover many...

Zusammenfassung:Damaged surfaces self‐replenish their chemical composition by the spontaneous re‐orientation of functional groups chemically bonded to the polymer network. The repair of the surface chemistry leads to the recovery of surface functionality. This self‐replenishing approach is suitable to recover many surface‐related properties and constitutes a major breakthrough in extending the service life‐time of functional materials.
