The disclosure relates to an omniphobically coated fluid channel including a channel defining an interior channel surface and a flow volume, and a thermoset omniphobic composition as a coating on the interior channel surface. The thermoset omniphobic composition (such as an omniphobic polyurethane or epoxy composition) includes a thermoset polymer with first, second, and third backbone segments. The first, second, and third backbone segments can correspond to urethane or urea reaction products of polyisocyanate(s), amine-functional omniphobic polymer(s), and polyol(s), respectively, for omniphobic polyurethanes. Similarly, the first, second, and third backbone segments can correspond to urea or beta-hydroxy amine reaction products of polyamine(s), isocyanate-functional omniphobic polymer(s), and polyepoxide(s), respectively, for omniphobic epoxies. The thermoset omniphobic composition coating protects the underlying channel material (such as metal material) from corrosion, and it can further reduce the pressure drop of fluid flowing through the channel. The omniphobically coated fluid channel can be used as a component of a heat transfer apparatus.

More specifically, the present invention provides a coating composition containing at least one branched polymer selected from a dendrimer and a hyperbranched polymer, and an isocyanate compound having an isocyanate group and an alkylsilanol group, and having the number of isocyanate functional group of 1 or more.

The disclosure relates to methods for forming an omniphobic thermoset composition, such as an omniphobic polyurethane or epoxy composition. First and second thermosetting components are applied to a substrate and partially cured. A functionalized hydrophobic/oleophobic/omniphobic polymer which is reactive with at least the first thermosetting component is then applied to the coated substrate, which is then further cured to form a thermoset omniphobic coating on the substrate. The thermoset omniphobic composition has favorable omniphobic properties, for example as characterized by water and/or oil contact and/or sliding angles. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be used as a coating on any of a variety of substrates to provide omniphobic properties to a surface of the substrate. Such omniphobic coatings can be scratch resistant, ink/paint resistant, and optically clear. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be applied by different coating methods including cast, spin, roll, spray and dip coating methods.
