A wear-resistant coating with combined mechanical and antifouling properties for potential underwater cleaning applications
The synergistic effect of A, MoS<sub>2</sub>, and PTFE successfully overcame the key limitations of traditional low-surface-energy coatings-poor mechanical strength and weak wear resistance. This work provides a breakthrough in designing high-performance, durable antifouling coatings with strong potential for practical applications, particularly in underwater cleaning robotics.
