Ультрафиолетовые самоочищающиеся покрытия для автономного вождения | Научные отчеты

Published in Scientific Reports (Nature), this study by Lu, Zhao & Hellerman (2024) examines hydrophobic coatings with self-cleaning performance and UV durability for autonomous driving sensor surfaces. The coatings are applied by spray process followed by thermal curing. Results show sWCA degradation corresponds to loss of fluorine atomic percentage during weathering. Vision camera imaging quality improves significantly with UV-durable hydrophobic coatings compared to uncoated surfaces. DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58549-y
