Reversible Switching of Hydrogel-Actuated Nanostructures into Complex Micropatterns
TL;DR: This work designed dynamic actuation systems by integrating high–aspect-ratio silicon nanocolumns, either free-standing or substrate-attached, with a hydrogel layer and demonstrated the formation of a variety of elaborate reversibly actuated micropatterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanonails: a simple geometrical approach to electrically tunable superlyophobic surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, dynamically tunable, superlyophobic surfaces capable of undergoing a transition from profound superyophobic behavior to almost complete wetting have been demonstrated for the first time, and the results provide novel methods of manipulating liquids on the microscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordered reactive nanomembranes/nanotemplates from thin films of block copolymer supramolecular assembly.
TL;DR: Well-ordered nanostructured thin polymer films have been fabricated from the supramolecular assembly of poly(styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-PVP) and 2-hydroxybenzeneazo)benzoic acid (HABA, consisting of cylindrical nanodomains formed by PVP-HABA associates surrounded by PS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switching of Polymer Brushes
TL;DR: In this paper, a brush-like monolayers composed of two different polymers, polystyrene and poly(2-vinylpyridine), are grafted by radical polymerization on the surface of silicon wafers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smart Microfluidic Channels
TL;DR: In this article, the walls of microfludic "smart channels" are coated by responsive mixed polymer brushes with a gradient of chemical composition, where wetting and nonwetting can be tuned upon interaction with liquids.
