Abstract:
This invention provides multifunctional coatings containing multiple components that usually do not associate with one another, from deposition of waterborne precursor compositions. Some variations provide a multiphase waterborne composition comprising a first-material phase containing a first material and a second-material phase containing a second material that is chemically different than, but covalently bonded to, the first material, wherein the first material and/or the second material contains ionic species. The first-material phase and the second-material phase are microphase-separated on an average length scale of phase inhomogeneity from about 0.1 microns to about 100 microns. The first and second materials may be selected from hydrophobic materials, hydrophilic materials, hygroscopic materials, oleophobic materials, and/or oleophilic materials, for example. Due to the first-material phase and the second-material phase being microphase-separated, the multiphase waterborne composition possesses a simultaneous combination of properties, rather than a combined average. Precursors and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
A waterborne precursor composition comprising:\n (a) a liquid solvent comprising at least 50 wt % water; (b) a first precursor material dissolved or suspended in said liquid solvent, wherein said first precursor material is a fluoropolymer; and (c) a second precursor material dissolved or suspended in said liquid solvent, wherein said second precursor material is different than said first precursor material, wherein said first precursor material and/or said second precursor material contains ionic species that provide aqueous dispersion stability to said waterborne precursor composition, wherein said first precursor material is covalently bonded to said second precursor material, and wherein said waterborne precursor composition is capable of hardening into a multiphase waterborne composition upon removal of said liquid solvent.
