Research abstract
An erosion-resistant high-temperature fouling release coating will be developed to improve cleanability of an aluminum fin-tube heat exchanger. To meet the requirements, an organosilane-based coating with pendant perfluorinated functionality will be utilized. These materials have been used successfully in many high-temperature and abrasion-resistant industrial and military applications. These materials may be deposited by a variety of techniques, including liquid- and vapor-based processes, to covalently graft to a wide variety of substrates, including aluminum.
