Durable and transparent intrinsically anti-triboelectric coatings (opens in new tab)

Electrostatic charge accumulation via contact electrification poses significant challenges in natural and engineered systems, such as displays. Existing anti-static coatings, while promising, are limited by trade-offs between optical transparency, mechanical robustness, and anti-static behavior. Here we report a molecularly tailored strategy to fabricate highly durable, transparent anti-triboelectric material by chemically crosslinking two heterogeneous components: aminopropyl oligomeric sils...
