At North Dakota State University's Department of Coatings and Polymeric Materials - Caldona Research Group, Jackson Honeymann unveiled exciting research progress in corrosion protection and oil removal using polythiophene coatings. Guided by PhD student Mark Rigel Ali, Jackson enhanced adhesion through a silane coupling agent on stainless steel, boosting corrosion resistance and anti-wettability. This paves the way for future research, including electropolymerization on monolayers, expanding possibilities for conductive coatings on varied substrates. Jackson's work, presented at the PICNICS 2023 program, hints at potential innovations in diverse fields, heralding new solutions for adhesion challenges and advancing electroactive coatings' practical applications.
