The project developed in Erzurum Technical University (ETÜ) laboratories was approved by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office and was entitled to receive a patent.

The work titled "UV-Hardening, Biocompatible, Superamphiphobic Coating", invented by Erzurum Technical University (ETÜ) Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Chemical Engineering faculty member Prof. Dr. Tuba Yetim, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Lecturer Member Mevra Aslan Çakır and Atatürk University Faculty of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty member Prof. Dr. Ayhan Çelik, was approved by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office and received a patent.

Making statements about the developed project, Prof. Dr. Tuba Yetim stated that in the study, a biopolymeric coating material that can be coated on glass and metal materials was produced in order to extend the lifespan of medical materials and some biomaterials and to prevent negative adhesion to the biomaterials. “Medical device and biomaterial coatings are among the most important application areas of the coating industry. In these areas, biocompatibility and high hydrophobicity are among the sought-after features in some coatings, depending on the place of use. Today, while the coatings produced in current applications show hydrophobic properties, superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity are desired properties in coatings applied to biomaterials in order to increase the quality of the material. The adhesion of non-polar body fluids and protein-containing solutions on the biomaterial has a negative impact on the operating performance of the surgical intervention and/or the implant. "In order to eliminate this negative effect, in this study, a polymeric-based, superamphiphobic (superhydrophobic and superoleophobic) and biocompatible biomaterial coating was produced on metallic and glass biomaterials, and this coating was cured using UV rays, which saves a lot of time on the surface."
