Abstract
⺠Surfactant templating of silica films aided in bulk encapsulation of fluorosilanes, which are usually surface-enriched. ⺠Encapsulation increased non-wetting character of film bulk after removal of top surface. ⺠N2 adsorption porosimetry indicates a co-surfactant effect between surfactant and fluorosilane. ⺠Encapsulation may be used to tune film properties to remain functional even after the surface-enriched top is worn away.
