MATERIALS COATINGS AND METHODS FOR SELF-CLEANING AND SELF-DECONTAMINATION OF METAL SURFACES

摘要

A composite structure exhibiting the ability to degrade chemical or biological agents upon contact comprising a substrate to be protected from the deleterious effects of chemical or biological agents possessing surface groups capable of deactivating materials having the ability to degrade chemical or biological agents, a buffer film, coated onto the substrate, that blocks the ability of the substrate surface groups to deactivate the materials having the ability to degrade chemical or biological agents, and a protective film, coated onto the buffer film, containing materials having the ability to degrade chemical or biological agents encapsulated in or comprising the outer surface of the protective film.
