| Zusammenfassung: | Wettability-switchable surfaces have become a research hotspot because they can exhibit different superwetting states. In this paper, the copper surfaces with pH-responsive underwater-oil wettability were prepared by femtosecond laser treatment and subsequent chemical modification. The resultant surfaces showed underwater superoleophobicity in alkaline solutions but quasi-superoleophilicity in acidic solutions. The contact angles of an underwater-oil droplet on the resultant surfaces could be reversibly tuned between 157° and 12° by changing the pH of aqueous solutions. Such switchable wettability is ascribed to the modification of the alkyl and carboxylic acids groups on the laser-structured surfaces. The as-prepared surfaces have both oil-resistance and oil-collection abilities by selectively showing underwater superoleophobicity and superoleophilicity. The smart surfaces with pH-responsive oil wettability will have important applications in controlling the oil behavior in water |
