SUBSTRATES COATED WITH ORGANOSILOXANE NANOFIBERS, METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION, USES AND REACTIONS THEREOF

摘要

The present disclosure relates to method of forming organosiloxane nanofibers on substrates, in particular by contacting an activated substrate with a vapor comprising vinyltrichlorosilane. The disclosure relates to the substrates thus formed and to various uses thereof. The disclosure further relates to a general method of preparing hydrophilic siloxane nanofibers on a substrate comprising by annealing any substrate coated with organosiloxane nanofibers under conditions to remove substantially all of the organic portions of the organosiloxane nanofibers.
