NIR triggered healable underwater superoleophobic coating with exceptional anti-biofouling performance

Although quite some self-healing coatings have been reported to date, underwater healable coatings were involved very limited. Here, we report a novel underwater healable superoleophobic coating through depositing functional SiO 2 @ [email protected] particles on the TPA/EVA-70% film. The obtained coating not only possess excellent underwater superoleophobic and antifouling properties, but also quick healable performance by remote NIR irradiation. Thus, it may provide stable and long-lasting underwater antifouling properties against marine growth and oil contamination.
