Abstract:
We demonstrate that a recently developed coating comprised of silicone nanofilaments can be selectively functionalized to yield well defined superhydrophobic, superhydrophilic, superoleophobic or superoleophilic domains on a single substrate, constituting a simple and versatile toolbox for surface scientists to create and study surfaces with extreme wetting properties.
