Polymeric Shape-Memory Micro-Patterned Surface for Switching Wettability with Temperature

Polymeric Shape-Memory Micro-Patterned Surface for Switching Wettability with Temperature

An innovative method to switch the wettability of a micropatterned polymeric surface by thermally induced shape memory effect is presented. For this purpose, first polycyclooctene (PCO) is crosslinked with dycumil peroxide (DCP) and its melting temperature, which corresponds with the switching trans...
