Abstract EN
Silica based nonfluorinated superhydrophobic coatings for natural rubber surfaces have been developed.
The coating was synthesized using nanosilica dispersion and a polychloroprene type binder as a compatibilizer.
This nanocoating of silica was applied on to the surface of finished natural rubber gloves, by spray coating or dipped coating methods.
The nanocoating demonstrates a water contact angle of more than 150° and sliding angle of 7°.
The morphological features of the coating have been studied using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to understand the nature of surface functional groups.
Both imaging techniques provided evidence for the presence of nanosized particles in the coating.
Coated gloves demonstrated comparable mechanical properties and significantly better alcohol resistivity when compared to those of the uncoated gloves.
