pH‐ and Voltage‐Switchable Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Electro‐Copolymerization of EDOT Derivatives Containing Carboxylic Acids and Long Alkyl Chains

Abstract: In order to produce pH- and voltage-switchable superhydrophobic surfaces, PEDOT derivatives containing various proportions of a EDOT monomer containing carboxylic groups (EDOT-COOH) and EDOT monomer-containing dodecyl chains (EDOT-O-H12) are elaborated. The surface morphology and roughness depend highly on the proportion of the monomers. Superhydrophobic properties are reached for a mol% of EDOT-COOH between 0 and 25%. It is possible to switch from superhydrophobic to hydrophilic (θ(water) until about 45°) by … Show more

“…The hydrophobic behavior of solid surfaces has a wide diversity of applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, high adhesive sur-faces, antifogging coatings, and antireflection coatings [1]. Different preparation strategies have been developed to fabricate hydropho-bic surfaces [2,3], which include nanoparticles doping [4][5][6], the introduction of fluoric or silicic or long alkyl chain chemistry [7][8][9][10], and plasma treatment [11,12]. He et al [13,14] used CF4 plasma modification for the conversion of a hydrophilic membrane into a hydrophobic membrane but a simple, universal and efficient chemical method for the direct hydrophobic modification of a wide range of polymers would be highly desirable.…”

“…Conducting polymers (CPs) are a class of functional polymers with electroactivity derived from unique molecular structures6 and a promising material for use in biomedical fields due to its excellent tissue compatibility 7. CPs have been revealed to be reversibly switchable (known as an intelligent property) in wettability in response to external stimuli (electrical potential, specific chemical and pH) 8. They thus may potentially be used in industrial applications such as self‐cleaning surfaces and microfluidics 9.…”

“…[7] CPs have been revealed to be reversibly switchable (known as an intelligent property) in wettability in response to external stimuli (electrical potential, specific chemical and pH). [8] They thus may potentially be used in industrial applications such as self-cleaning surfaces and microfluidics. [9] Yan [9a, b] and Jiang [10] described that CP films underwent a reversible change in wettability from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic, both resulting from perfluorinated dopant flux.…”
