Functionality of Nanopatterned Polymer Surfaces

Abstract: IntroductionThe aim of this mini review was zoom in the perspective and feasible methods to produce nanopatterned polymers surfaces and to collect their some properties. This has opened new possibilities for making affordable polymer products with functional nanopatterned surfaces.While a variety of approaches to create hydrophobic/ superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed, [1][2][3][4][5] there are still restrictions on their widespread use due to the cost, number of processing steps, limits on the manuf… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the ability to pattern polymers at different length scales with high reproducibility offers advantages over other materials due to the broad application of polymeric materials in both industry and medicine. In recent years, a broad range of patterning strategies has been developed to create a variety of micronanopatterned polymer topographies including nanoimprint lithography and a combination of colloidal lithography and plasma etching. Biomimetic “moth-eye” film was the first commercial realization of a micronanopatterned polymeric topography that possessed a variety of functions including low reflectivity, superhydrophobicity, antifogging properties, and antibacterial characteristics (Mosmite, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation). , However, the bactericidal efficacy of nanopatterns consisting of high aspect ratio structures, such as pillars, rely heavily on the geometry of the nanopattern array . For example, the pillar height and spacing are two geometric parameters that have been found to profoundly influence the mechano-bactericidal efficacy of the resultant pattern. , Efforts to characterize the optimal surface nanopattern for bactericidal action has led to broad discrepancy in the reported antibacterial efficacy of investigated topographies .…”
