Abstract
Processes for producing layered components that may include depositing a strike layer on a substrate; forming a nanomaterial layer on the strike layer, the nanomaterial layer having a nanotextured surface comprising a plurality of nanofeatures; embedding a polymeric material at least partially within the nanotextured surface; and separating the strike layer from the substrate to obtain the layered component. Layered components that may include a nanomaterial layer having a nanotextured surface comprising a plurality of nanofeatures; and a polymeric material at least partially embedded within the nanotextured surface. Nanotextured polymeric materials and layered components produced by various processes.
Claims9
A process for producing a layered component, the process comprising:
- depositing a strike layer on a substrate;
- forming a nanomaterial layer on the strike layer, the nanomaterial layer having nanotextured surface comprising a plurality of nanofeatures;
- embedding a polymeric material at least partially within the nanotextured surface;
- and
- separating the strike layer from the substrate to obtain the layered component, with at least a portion of the strike layer remaining with the layered component;
- wherein an adhesion between the strike layer and the substrate is weaker than an adhesion between the strike layer and the nanomaterial layer such that a portion of the strike layer remains with the layered component.
