From soaking wet to bone dry: The concept of reversible switching between superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity of a surface (see picture) exploits the thermally responsive wettability of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide), and this property is enhanced by surface roughness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
