Patent ID: 8710153

Claim:
A solution tailored for coating material surfaces, comprising: a solvent; triblock molecules mixed in the solvent, each triblock molecule comprising: an end group portion comprising: a rigid rod portion comprising an aggregating phenol derivative; and a terminal group portion comprising a hydroxyl group or carbon trifluoride; a flexible spacer portion comprising a repeating hydrocarbon polymer with a double bond; a random coil portion comprising molecules including styrene, wherein the random coil portion comprises dendrimers; a hydrophilic end disposed proximal to the end group portion; a hydrophobic end opposite the hydrophilic end, wherein hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic end is tailored to a desired hydrophobicity of a surface coating formed from nanostructures produced by self-assembly of the triblock molecules during evaporation of the solvent; and a bulk polymer blended with the triblock molecules to develop surface texture of the surface coating.
