Tailored Wetting Properties

The wetting (hydrophobicity, hydrophillicity, oleophillicity, oleophobicity) of a material or the degree to which a material can be wetted or dispersed in a liquid is an important consideration in advanced materials development and processing.

ONTO® technology enables the efficient tailored modification of the wetting properties of a surface; for exampleModification of low surface energy materials (Fluoropolymers, Cytop® Teflon®, polyimide, polypropylene etc.) for increased wetting with aqueous or solvent coatings.

  • Increased dispersion of nanoparticles in aqueous or solvent formulations
  • Antifouling coatings
  • Antifog coatings
  • Increased biocompatibility of medical implants or devices
