Omniphobic Coatings for Surface Treatment

BACKGROUND This invention is a method of 3D coating of fabrics at submicron thicknesses with PFAS to produce omniphobic (both hydro- and oleo-) fabrics in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner. Fabrics coated using the inventive method maintain omniphobicity much better than the standard method of spraying. The invention uses a solventless,...

Stent Nanocoatings with Controlled Drug Release and Improved Biocompatibility

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD), affected over 523 million people in 2019, killing 18.6 million. Arterial stents are often used as part of angioplasty to keep arteries from undergoing restenosis (re-collapsing). Unfortunately, in-stent restenosis and thrombosis (clotting) are complications which can cause further cardiac damage or death. Drug-eluting...
