A fluidic hemostat agent comprising a solid hemostatic additive suspended in a silanol carrier fluid to form a heterogeneous mixture that exhibits sufficient flowability to allow for injection and proliferation, while simultaneously having sufficient adhesive and viscoelastic characteristics to remain at the application site and enable the clotting cascade time to form a thrombus. The silanol carrier fluid preferably comprises liquid silanol-bearing POSS molecules, while the solid hemostatic additive preferably is selected from the group consisting of kaolin, chitin, chitosan, cellulose, keratin pectin, acetylated glucosamine, dry fibrin, gelatin, and calcium salts. A preferred silanol species is iso-octylPOSS trisilanol having the molecular representation [(i-ocylSiO.sub.1.5).sub.4(i-octyl(OH)SiO.sub.1.0).sub.3].sub.Σ7.

A method of forming a hydrophobic and oleophobic surface. The method including spin coating an F-POSS with 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2,-pentafluoropropane/1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane onto an inert surface. The F-POSS has a structure: ##STR00001## Each R.sub.f represents a nonreactive, fluorinated organic group, R.sub.1 represents a first monovalent organic group comprising at least two carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 represents hydrogen or a second monovalent organic group comprising at least two carbon atoms. The F-POSS with 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2,-pentafluoropropane/1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane are then dried on the inert surface.
