Innovative Non-Stick Material
Researchers at the University of Toronto have made a significant breakthrough in non-stick material technology. They created a new non-stick coating that competes with traditional PFAS-based options while minimizing the use of these controversial “forever chemicals”. This advancement comes from a unique process known as nanoscale fletching, which enables the modification of silicone-based polymers to effectively repel both water and oil.
This innovative coating could lead to the development of safer cookware, fabrics, and other products. The environmental and health risks associated with long-chain PFAS have raised concerns for years. Now, this new material offers a promising alternative without compromising performance.
