Switchable Surface Wettability by Using Boronic Ester Chemistry

Abstract: Here, we report for the first time the use of a boronic ester as an efficient tool for reversible surface post-functionalization. The boronic ester bond allows surfaces to be reversibly switched from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Based on the well-known boronic acid/glycol affinity, this strategy offers the opportunity to play with surface hydrophobic properties by adding various boronic acids onto substrates bearing glycol groups. The post-functionalization can then be reversed to regenerate the starting glycol… Show more

“…An alternative approach consists of reversible sorption/desorption of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic compounds on material surface. In combination with previous surface patterning, the reversible transition between superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic properties was achieved in this way . This approach is fascinating, but it also has several limitations, namely the amount of attached compound is limited, and the additional immersion of the surface in the appropriate solution is required.…”

“…[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] An elegant and efficient pathway to control both these parameters is the electrodeposition of conductive polymers. [27][28][29][30] This strategy allows developing hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces in one step. Depending on the control of the electrochemical parameters (electrolytes, solvent, etc.)…”

“…Different grafting strategies can also be envisaged to prepare the surface with reversible wettability [87][88][89]. For example, nanofibers of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) functionalized with azido groups (N 3 ) were prepared by electropolymerization [87].…”
