Abstract
In this paper, coatings with antibacterial adhesion, excellent biocompatibility, good superhydrophobicity and highly transmittance were fabricated by mixing hydroxyl group fluropolymer (PHF), polyurethane oligomer (Pre-PU) with epoxy functionalized SiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles and thermal-crosslinked. The properties of coatings were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Ultraviolet near-infrared visible spectrophotometer (UV-3600). The morphology results indicated that the roughness scale of micro-nano structure surface can be monitored by changing the contents of functionalized polymers and SiO<sub>2</sub>. The coating S2 showed outstanding superhydrophobicity with the contact angle of 155.9°, the sliding angle less than 1°, and good transparency. Furthermore, the coating exhibited antibacterial adhesion and favorable biosafety, confirming a potential for application in the oral field.
