From superhydrophobicity and water repellency to superhydrophilicity: smart polymer-functionalized surfaces.
pH-responsive surfaces, reversibly switching between superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity/water repellency, are developed by "grafting from" a pH-sensitive polymer onto a hierarchically micro/nano-structured substrate. We quantify the water repellency by investigating the restitution coefficient of water droplets bouncing off the surfaces. The water repellent state requires appropriate h...
متن کاملAdhesion switch on a gecko-foot inspired smart nanocupule surface.
A gecko-foot inspired nanocupule surface prepared by an AAO template covering method was composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and polystyrene blend. Both superhydrophobicity and high adhesion force were exhibited on the PNIPAm/PS film at room temperature. Moreover, by controlling the temperature, the wettability of the film could be switched between 138.1 ± 5.5° and 150.6 ± 1.5°, and the adh...
متن کاملUV-manipulated wettability between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity on a transparent and conductive SnO2 nanorod film.
A smart surface with wettability that can be switched between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity has been realized on a transparent and conductive SnO2 nanorod film by the alternation of UV-irradiation and dark storage.
متن کاملPorous copper surfaces with improved superhydrophobicity under oil and their application in oil separation and capture from water.
The repeatable wettability of the facile-to-fabricate porous copper surface shows superhydrophobicity in air and improved superhydrophobicity under oil. The resultant 3D copper foam can separate and capture oils from water with high separation efficiency, fast capture kinetics, fine mechanical resistance to water impact, and good recyclability.
متن کاملUV-induced Wettability Change of Teflon-modified ZnO Nanorod Arrays on LiNbO3 Substrate
Aligned ZnO nanorod arrays films were grown on LiNbO3 substrates by aqueous growth, and subsequently rendered superhydrophobic with RF sputtered coated Teflon. The as-prepared surface exhibits superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle (CA) of 154.5. After 2 hours of UV irradiation on the surface, the surface wettability was approaching hydrophilic state; CA was measured to be 113. This stu...
