Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Hydrogel coatings offer advanced surface properties but face limitations in wetting and curing for large/complex substrates.
  • Existing methods struggle with uniform application and controlled solidification on diverse material types and geometries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for applying hydrogel coatings on large and complicated substrates.
  • To overcome limitations in wetting conditions and curing processes associated with traditional hydrogel coating techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Development of lyophilized adhesive hydrogel powders (LAHPs) from poly(acrylic acid-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) and chitosan.
  • Electrostatic spraying of LAHPs onto substrates followed by rehydration to form bulk hydrogel coatings.
  • Characterization of coating mechanical properties, adhesion, and functional attributes.

Main Results:

  • LAHPs enable smooth, adjustable-thickness hydrogel coatings on various materials regardless of size or geometry.
  • Coatings demonstrate excellent mechanical strength (2.62 MPa), elastic modulus (6.84 MPa), stretchability (>3 folds), and adhesion (≈900 J m⁻²).
  • The hydrogel coatings provide lubricity, hydrophilicity, nucleation inhibition, and pH-responsive actuation, with potential for thermal responsiveness and gas indication.

Conclusions:

  • This LAHP strategy offers a simple, flexible, and convenient approach for fabricating advanced hydrogel coatings.
  • The method overcomes key challenges in hydrogel coating application, paving the way for widespread industrial and biomedical uses.
  • The tunable nature of these coatings allows for diverse functionalities, expanding the utility of hydrogel-based materials.
