Abstract
  • We demonstrate the enhancement of the wetting properties of smart photochromic surfaces by a specifically developed, gentle interferometric patterning employing green light. We realized photochromic gratings with 2.5-10.0 mu m period by a blend consisting of a green-curable matrix and spiropyran molecules. The structured surfaces exhibit photocontrolled and reversible wettability, and enhanced hydrophilicity with respect to the native substrates. The dynamics of liquid spreading onto the gratings was also investigated, and the wetting behavior analyzed according to Wenzel's [Ind. Eng. Chem. 28, 988 (1936)] model for rough surfaces. These results indicate switchable gratings as promising functional components for microfluidics and modulation, and green-light interferometry as a reliable lithographic method for patterning organics without degradation or photochemical reactions.
