![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Fabrication of superhydrophilic and antireflective silica coatings on poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates Fabrication of superhydrophilic and antireflective silica coatings on poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates](/preview/png/1489795.png)
Silica nanoparticles of ca. 20 nm in size were synthesized, from which hierarchically porous silica coatings were fabricated on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly followed by oxygen plasma treatment. These porous silica coatings were highly transparent and superhydrophilic. The maximum transmittance reached as high as 99%, whereas that of the PMMA substrate is only 92%. After oxygen plasma treatment, the time for a water droplet to spread to a contact angle of lower than 5° decreased to as short as 0.5 s. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the morphology and structure of nanoparticles and coating surfaces. Transmission and reflection spectra were recorded on UV–vis spectrophotometer. Surface wettability was studied by a contact angle/interface system. The influence of mesopores on the transmittance and wetting properties of coatings was discussed on the basis of experimental observations.
Self-cleaning and antireflection properties were successfully achieved by assembling (PDDA/S-20)n coatings on PMMA substrates followed by oxygen plasma treatment.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights
