Smart silicone coatings can change their friction and stickiness as surroundings reshape nanoscale layers

AI Summary

Researchers led by the University of Newcastle report a method for tuning the slipperiness of silicone surfaces by changing their nanoscale layers in response to surrounding conditions. The findings were published in Chemistry of Materials.

Research led by a group from the University of Newcastle has found a new way to make silicone surfaces—and control how slippery they are. The work was published in the journal Chemistry of Materials.
