Abstract: Disclosed are methods for quantifying the cleanability of a surface of an article, for instance an aircraft interior component. In embodiments, a solution containing an artificial “dirt” is introduced to a surface under test to simulate a sullied condition. The sullied surface is subjected to at least one cleaning process. Obtained reference and post-cleaning light measurements are compared to determine a measurement difference corresponding to a cleanability of the surface and/or effectiveness of the at least one cleaning process. In embodiments, the measurement difference is assigned a cleanability score for at least one of determining a passing or failing cleanability, modifying the cleaning process, indicating the need for a second or subsequent cleaning, modifying the barrier coating formulation, redesigning the article, etc. The disclosed methods provide solutions for objective verification measures of surface cleanability used to facilitate new article designs, materials, barrier coatings, cleaning processes, cleaners, etc.

Abstract: In-aircraft seats include plastic components having anti-microbial, metallic reinforcing fibers such as copper or silver. Copper or silver wires are embedded into the plastic at the time or molding to provide both structural reinforcement and anti-microbial properties. At the time of molding, copper or silver wires are disposed in a plastic mold prior to plastic application to ensure the metallic wires are generally disposed toward the surface of the molded part.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a barrier coating on a surface of a substrate. The method includes applying a barrier coating forming solution to the substrate, allowing the applied barrier coating forming solution to partially cure, applying an antimicrobial coating forming solution atop the partially cured barrier coating forming solution, and allowing the two applied coatings to fully cure or dry to produce a multifunctional surface coating. The barrier coating forming solution includes at least one performance component other an antimicrobial component, and the antimicrobial coating forming solution includes an antimicrobial component. A formed multifunctional surface coating produced according to the method positions the antimicrobial component at a concentrated amount at or near the surface of the formed multifunctional coating.

Abstract: A method includes depositing an antimicrobial material onto a surface of a substrate. The method includes binding a photochromic material to the antimicrobial material. Depositing the antimicrobial material and binding the photochromic material can include forming a mixture of the antimicrobial material and the photochromic material and depositing the mixture onto the surface of the substrate. It is also contemplated that depositing the antimicrobial material and binding the photochromic material can include first depositing the antimicrobial material onto the surface of the substrate and then depositing the photochromic material onto the antimicrobial material.

Abstract: A method may comprise measuring, by a conductivity or resistance measuring device, the conductivity or resistance of a surface of a substrate; comparing, by the conductivity or resistance measuring device, the measured conductivity or resistance to a reference value; and/or determining, by the conductivity or resistance measuring device, a presence or an absence of an antimicrobial system on the surface. The antimicrobial system may comprise a first coating, wherein the first coating may comprise an antimicrobial compound, wherein the antimicrobial compound may comprise a first end and a second end opposite the first end with a hydrocarbon chain therebetween, wherein the antimicrobial compound may comprise a cationic functional group on the first end and a silane group on the second end.

Abstract: A vehicle panel includes two sidewalls and a resonator disposed between them on one of the cell walls. The resonator includes a network of cells, each cell defines an internal space to absorb and dissipate noise and vibrations within a specific frequency range. Certain cells or subsets of cells may be interconnected to define a larger internal cell space. An airgap between the resonator and one of the sidewalls may be partially or completely filled with dampening material to absorb high frequency noise. The dampening material may also provide thermal insulation.
