![]() It was observed that larger size (> 5-μm) particles can be removed from coated substrates with almost 100% efficiency. A size-distribution analysis was conducted to study the adsorption and cleaning efficiency of particles of different sizes. The particle exposure results suggest that although the accumulation of particles is not significantly affected under the experimental conditions used in this work, the coated substrates exhibit significantly improved cleaning efficiency with a gas flow. Laser-induced–damage tests confirmed that the coatings do not affect the laser-induced–damage threshold values. The experiments were performed using silica substrates coated with these organic thin films and subsequently exposed to stainless-steel and silica microparticles as a model of contamination. ![]() Three organic monolayers coatings were developed and tested for their effectiveness to increase cleaning efficiency of attached microscale particles by air flows. ![]()
