A bioinspired strategy for poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) films with strong water adhesion

Abstract: Using a bioinspired approach, we prepare poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) (PEDOP) films with parahydrophobic properties, characterized by high apparent water contact angle and strong water adhesion. The films are made by electropolymerization and the influence of substitution by an alkyl chain of various length (from C4H9 to C14H29) on the 3,4-ethylenedioxy-bridge is reported. More precisely, the best properties are obtained from a length of C12H25 due to the formation of spherical nanoparticles.

“…In recent years, researchers have applied bionic principles to materials to prepare superhydrophobic surfaces. To obtain the superhydrophobic surface, the following two conditions must be satisfied: constructing the surface of a micron-scale rough structure and reducing the surface free energy [12][13][14][15]. The commonly used surface energy reducing materials include fluorosilane [16,17], stearic acid [18], etc.…”
