Anti-fingerprint properties of non-fluorinated organosiloxane self-assembled monolayer-coated glass surfaces

Self-assembled monolayers of organosiloxanes and their hybrids with different functionalities were successfully fabricated on glass surfaces by sol–gel technique. Contact angles with water and hexadecane revealed that the examined organosiloxanes can be classified into hydrophobic/oleophilic and hydrophobic/oleophobic molecules, and the latter character can be called amphiphobic. Since contact angles of amphiphobic oleic acid, a main component...
