AB  - Acoustic aeration on a sonochemical surface could have a major impact on 
      sensitivity because of the serious reflection/scattering of sound waves. 
      Recently, we found that the trapped air in the crevices can be reduced by 
      covering the surface with a hydrophilic coating, thus preventing the bubble 
      formation upon ultrasound agitation. Here, we developed an epoxy-based hybrid 
      polymer coating that shows greatly enhanced mechanical adhesion on a high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) surface. The strong bonding of C-O-C and the benzene ring as 
      the backbone ensures excellent mechanical strength, and the hydrophilic polar 
      groups of -OH/-NH(2) on dopamine display bubble suppression. The existing -OH 
      groups in the cross-linked matrix, which is constructed by adding the monomer 
      PEGMA and cross-linker PEGDA, form a strong chemical bond with the HDPE surface 
      via dehydration, which largely enhanced the adhesion force. The coated HDPE 
      surface maintained a low contact angle of less than 45 degrees , which is the critical 
      angle for avoiding bubbles, after a long period period of abrasion cycling of 160 
      times under 9.8 kPa pressure. The coated HDPE surface displayed excellent bubble 
      removal performance under ultrasound agitation from room temperature to 60  degrees C. 
      The strengthened mechanical adhesion of the epoxy-based hydrophilic coating 
      displays extensive applications on a variety of surfaces for acoustic bubble 
      removal.
