Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Coatings Imparting Multifunctional Properties to Materials” in Coatings. Coatings are traditionally used to protect materials from corrosion and erosion and to improve the performance of equipment. Currently, there are coatings that provide materials with new properties, for example, biocidal, hydrophobic, self-cleaning, etc. A promising area of materials science is the development of “smart” coatings that simultaneously give materials several new properties. The properties of the coatings are determined by the materials of the coatings, the structure and the properties of the substrate surface, and the methods of forming the coatings. To form multifunctional coatings, a variety of techniques are used: the dip-coating technique, chemical deposition/electrodeposition, layer by layer assembly, spray coating, spin coating technique, electrospray/electrospinning coating technique, chemical etching technique, lithographic patterning technique, and miscellaneous techniques.

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles, critical reviews, as well as perspectives, from leading researchers in both academia and industry, on all aspects related to recent advances in the design, preparation and investigation of structure, morphology, and properties of coatings for imparting multifunctional properties of materials. Contributions on the new concepts and mechanisms of forming coatings to impart multifunctional properties to materials are also welcome.

In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:

  • New ways of forming multifunctional coatings;
  • Materials with new multifunctional coatings;
  • New methods for determining the characteristics of multifunctional coatings;
  • Advanced industrial applications of coatings for imparting materials’ multifunctional properties.

Superhydrophobic coatings have a huge impact in various applications due to their extreme water-repellent properties. The main novelty of the current research work lies in the development of cheap, stable, superhydrophobic and self-cleaning coatings with extreme water-repellency. In this work, a composite of hydrothermally synthesized alumina (Al2O3), polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and polystyrene (PS) was deposited on a glass surface by a dip-coating technique. The Al2O3 nanoparticles form a rough structure, and low-surface-energy PHMS enhances the water-repellent properties. The composite coating revealed a water contact angle (WCA) of 171 ± 2° and a sliding angle (SA) of 3°. In the chemical analysis, Al2p, Si2p, O1s, and C1s elements were detected in the XPS survey. The prepared coating showed a self-cleaning property through the rolling action of water drops. Such a type of coating could have various industrial applications in the future. Full article

This paper describes an original method for forming a stable coating on a polypropylene yarn. The use of this method provides this yarn with barrier antimicrobial properties, reducing its electrical resistance, increasing its strength, and achieving extremely high chemical resistance, similar to that of fluoropolymer yarns. The method is applied at the melt-spinning stage of polypropylene yarns. It is based on forming an ultrathin, continuous, and uniform coating on the surface of each of the yarn filaments. The coating is formed from polytetrafluoroethylene doped with magnetite nanoparticles stabilized with sodium stearate. The paper presents the results of a study of the effects of such an ultrathin polytetrafluoroethylene coating containing stabilized magnetite particles on the mechanical and electrophysical characteristics of the polypropylene yarn and its barrier antimicrobial properties. It also evaluates the chemical resistance of the polypropylene yarn with a coating based on polytetrafluoroethylene doped with magnetite nanoparticles. Full article

Superhydrophobic surfaces possess low mechanical strength, and can be easily contaminated by fluids with low surface tension, such as oil; this hinders their practical applications. In this study, fluorinated epoxy was prepared through the thiol-ene click reaction at first. The superhydrophobic surface with high oil-repellency was prepared by the addition of unmodified nano-SiO2 and micron-SiO2 to the fluorinated epoxy. The effect of the ratio of micro- and nano-silica particles on the morphology and wettability of the coating was investigated. It was shown that a re-entrant structure appears and FEP-S coating has good liquid repellency when the amounts of nano-SiO2 and micro-SiO2 are equal. The contact angles of the FEP-S coating (coating with the best liquid repellent performance) for water, glycerol, ethylene glycol, and diiodomethane were 158.6° ± 1.1°, 152.4° ± 0.9°, 153.4° ± 1.3°, and 140.7° ± 0.9°, respectively. In addition, the superhydrophobic coatings possess excellent mechanical and chemical durability, excellent performance in self-cleaning, corrosion resistance, and anti-icing properties. The preparation method of superhydrophobic coating is relatively simple; therefore, it has a wide range of applications and can also be applied to various substrates. Full article

The aim of the study was to improve the range of adhesive interlining materials for clothes to add to the product a complex of improved consumer (shape stability, wear resistance) and special (protective, health-improving) properties. We have found that the modification of the adhesive coating of interlining materials with oligoacrylates provides a transition from the traditional discrete 2D glue interlayers between the bonded materials formation to the highly branched 3D structures of the interfacial layer of composites creation. Using dynamic light scattering method, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, gas adsorption, optical and scanning probe microscopy, methods of textile materials science, we have identified technological approaches that ensure the polymer coating penetration into the intrafiber nanopore spaces of the textile layers. We have identified ways to control the elastic-deformation properties of composites in the modifying the adhesive interlining material process in order to design its properties for the requirements of various garment models. We found a unique possibility of using graftable oligoacrylate dispersion to stabilize the nanodispersed state of functional fillers (silica, nanoferrites) and increase the uniformity of their distribution in the composite structure.

The efficiency of the method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using a system containing oxalic dialdehyde as a reducing agent, and polyguanidine as a stabilizer is shown. An analysis of the data of photon correlation spectroscopy characterizing the sizes of the formed particles in the Ag-polyelectrolyte system is presented. It has been established that the synthesized silver nanoparticles have a stable biocidal effect. The system of biodegradable polyelectrolytes chitosan-xanthan gum for the synthesis of the capsule shell including silver nanoparticles is selected. This will allow the formation of stable polyelectrolyte capsule shells containing oyster mushroom mycelium extract. A protocol for the synthesis of microcapsules by the method of sequential adsorption of chitosan polyelectrolytes and xanthan gum on calcium carbonate templates was developed. Silver nanoparticles are included in the capsule shell, and a biologically active drug (oyster mushroom mycelium extract) is included in the core. The technological mode of complex capsules immobilization on a textile material by the layer-by-layer method is described. The immobilization of multilayer microcapsules on a fibrous substrate is provided by a system of polyelectrolytes: positively charged chitosan and negatively charged xanthan gum. The developed multifunctional coatings make it possible to impart multifunctional properties to textile materials: antibacterial, antimycotic, high hygroscopic properties. Full article

The water is a vital compound for all known forms of life, but it can also cause detrimental consequences to our daily routine if by natural means becomes pathogenic bacterial carrier or transforms into ice. Imaginative by necessity, the surrounding environment has stimulated the mankind to emulate natural-design solutions and invent the so-called super-nonwettable coatings. Undisputedly, these coatings have revolutionized the modern industry by providing “a vehicle” for potential eco-friendly water purification, passive icing protection, suppression of the solid surface-associated spreading of bacterial infections and enhanced cryopreservation of living matter. Regrettably, the wide domestic use of liquid impermeable coatings (surfaces) is yet limited, since the current market trends impose the possession of fabrication scalability and multifunctionality, which is not covered by most of the available non-wettable products. This viewpoint article intends to outline the most significant scientific achievements within the past five years related to the release of anti-wetting coatings with multiple applications. Design and performance efficiencies in light of the physical chemistry of the surface are demonstrated, emphasizing on the likelihood of integrating icephobicity and anti-biofouling capacity within a single interfacial nanostructure.
