Anti-smudge superhard transparent coatings via ultra-small nanoparticle pattern surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Anti-smudge coating materials have a broad prospect, but they are susceptible to wear from nails and sand. Therefore, the potential application of such coatings on glass substrates needs coating features such as superhardness and high transparency. However, realizing these key properties combined with anti-smudge function is significantly challenging. In this work, we show a conceptional nanoparticle pattern designing strategy of materials, inspired by stepping on cobblestone roads with the foot feeling of only the hardness of stones. Realize the nanoparticle pattern surface of "cobblestone roads" via facile and scalable interfacial reactions within a molecular compatible system, to successfully achieve the desired coating material properties including anti-smudge, superhardness, and high
