  • Title: A smart surface with switchable wettability by an ionic liquid.
    Author: Chang L, Liu H, Ding Y, Zhang J, Li L, Zhang X, Liu M, Jiang L.
    Journal: Nanoscale; 2017 May 11; 9(18):5822-5827. PubMed ID: 28244540.
    Abstract:
    Smart control of surface wettability by ionic liquids (ILs) is significant for designing IL-related intelligent materials and devices. Herein, we present mixed molecular brushes comprised of poly(phenylethyl methacrylate) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane (PPhEtMA-co-PFDMS) grafted surfaces that are capable of dynamically regulating 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMIm][NTf2]) wettability. 1H NMR and quartz crystal microbalance characterization demonstrate that the wettability changes result from a temperature-dominated cation-π interaction between [EMIm][NTf2] and PPhEtMA-co-PFDMS brushes.
