New nonstick coating acts like Teflon – but without the forever chemicals – ideal for cookware and other everyday uses.
Using a new chemistry technique called nanoscale fletching, scientist have created a high-performance nonstick coating that repels water and oil and, importantly, provides a safer and more environmentally friendly surface – ideal for cookware and other everyday uses.
Using a new chemistry technique called nanoscale fletching, scientist have created a high-performance nonstick coating that repels water and oil and, importantly, provides a safer and more environmentally friendly surface – ideal for cookware and other everyday uses. University of Toronto (U of T) engineers have designed a super-thin coating that begins with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a flexible silicone polymer used widely in everything from contact lenses to medical devices. “Unlike typical silicone, we bond short chains of PDMS to a base material – you can think of them like bristles on a brush,” explained researcher Samuel Au.
