This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a novel heat-resistant easy-clean coating that can effectively be applied to surfaces of oven cavities and pipes. Ovens and heat-exchangers, as the primary application domains of this technology, present an estimated annual market size of $40.9 million and $19.4 billion, respectively. The technology will provide a safe and environmentally-friendly solution for the unmet market demand for heat-resistant easy-clean coatings. In addition to its impact on the aforesaid market, the proposed development in Phase II will be an implementation of a new generation of non-stick coatings that can provide answers to a broad range of existing technological challenges. The development project is based on patent-pending technology for scalable and affordable manufacturing of textured coatings using existing electroplating facilities in the industry. The proposed technology will create a new generation of coatings that provide non-stick functionality where the existing nonstick coatings fall short. The existing non-stick coatings decompose at high temperatures and may produce toxic fumes. The challenge for the existing non-stick coatings is even greater when application is needed for hard-to-reach areas, such as inside of oven chambers and pipes. The anticipated outcome of the Phase II proposal is an inorganics-based and PTFE-free non-stick coating that can provide more thermal-resistance than existing non-stick coatings and can be applied to different surfaces through a scalable and affordable route.

该小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第二阶段项目将开发一种新型耐热易清洁涂层，可有效应用于烤箱腔体和管道的表面。烤箱和热交换器作为该技术的主要应用领域，预计年市场规模分别为 4090 万美元和 194 亿美元。该技术将为耐热易清洁涂料未满足的市场需求提供安全环保的解决方案。除了对上述市场的影响之外，第二阶段的拟议开发还将实施新一代不粘涂层，该涂层可以为广泛的现有技术挑战提供答案。该开发项目基于正在申请专利的技术，利用业内现有的电镀设施以可扩展且经济实惠的方式制造纹理涂层。拟议的技术将创建新一代涂层，在现有不粘涂层的不足之处提供不粘功能。现有的不粘涂层在高温下会分解并可能产生有毒烟雾。当需要在难以到达的区域（例如烤箱室和管道内部）涂抹时，现有不粘涂层面临的挑战甚至更大。第二阶段提案的预期成果是一种基于无机且不含 PTFE 的不粘涂层，它可以提供比现有不粘涂层更高的耐热性，并且可以通过可扩展且经济实惠的途径应用于不同的表面。
