Ep 16 - Oil-Repellent, Not Environment-Repellent: A PFAS-Free Future?

from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang

Can we ditch long-chain PFAS without sacrificing performance? This episode explores a groundbreaking study where researchers engineer oil-repellent surfaces using ultrashort perfluorocarbons (just -CF₃!) on PDMS brushes. Discover how “nanoscale fletching” offers a cleaner, safer path to industrial coatings—and what it means for materials design in a post-PFAS world.Feature paper:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-62119-9
