NITRIC OXIDE-RELEASING COATINGS

摘要

Provided according to embodiments of the invention are NO-releasing sol-gel coating formed from a sol precursor solution comprising a backbone alkoxysilane and a diazeniumdiolate-modified alkoxysilane. Further provided are methods of producing NO-releasing sol-gel coatings. Such methods may include (a) co-condensing a sol precursor solution comprising a backbone alkoxysilane and a diazeniumdiolate-modified alkoxysilane in a solvent to form a sol; (b) coating a substrate with the sol; and (c) drying the sol to form the NO-releasing sol-gel coating.
