Razor blades

Abstract

A razor blade with a sharpened cutting edge with an outer bonding surface. A phosphonate polysiloxane composite layer deposited on the outer bonding surface forming an outermost layer of the sharpened cutting edge. The phosphonate polysiloxane composite layer is composed of one or more layers. The phosphonates are covalently bonded to the outer bonding surface. The siloxanes are covalently bonded to the phosphonates and in some applications are also covalently bonded to the outer bonding surface. The siloxanes are a reactive silicone polymer, bonded to the phosphonates or outer bonding surface creating branches, mild crosslinking or even heavily crosslinked layers. The phosphonate polysiloxane composite may be formed through the use of thermal, UV exposure, IR exposure, a combination of thermal, UV, and or IR, as well as e-beam, ion-beam, or other ionization source.
