Abstract

Surfaces endowed with three-dimensional (3D) mesostructures, showing features in the nanometer to micrometer range, are critical for applications in several fields of science and technology. Finding a fabrication method that is simultaneously inexpensive, simple, fast, versatile, highly scalable, and capable of producing complex 3D shapes is still a challenge. Herein, we characterize the photoreconfiguration of a micropillar array of an azobenzene-containing polymer at different light wavelengths and demonstrate the tailoring of the surface geometry and its related functionality only using light. By changing the irradiated light wavelength and its polarization, we demonstrate the fabrication of various complex isotropic and anisotropic 3D mesostructures from a single original pristine geometry. Quantitative morphological analyses revealed an interplay between the decay rate of absorbed light intensity, micropillar volume preservation, and the cohesive forces between the azopolymer chains as the origin of distinctive wavelength-dependent 3D structural remorphing. Finally, we show the potentialities of this method in surface engineering by photoreshaping a single original micropillar surface into two sets of different mesostructured surfaces exhibiting tunable hydrophobicity in a wide water contact angle range. Our study opens up a new paradigm for fabricating functional 3D mesostructures in a simple, low-cost, fast, and scalable manner.

摘要

具有三维(3D)介观结构、呈现纳米到微米尺度特征的表面,对于多个科学技术领域的应用至关重要。找到一种既廉价、简单、快速、通用、高度可扩展,又能制造复杂3D形状的制造方法仍是一项挑战。在此,我们表征了含偶氮苯聚合物微柱阵列在不同光波长下的光重构,并证明仅使用光就能定制表面几何形状及其相关功能。通过改变照射光的波长及其偏振,我们展示了从单一原始的初始几何形状制造各种复杂的各向同性和各向异性3D介观结构。定量形态分析揭示了吸收光强度的衰减速率、微柱体积保持以及偶氮聚合物链之间的内聚力之间的相互作用,这是独特的波长依赖性3D结构重塑的根源。最后,我们通过将单个原始微柱表面光重塑为两组在宽水接触角范围内具有可调疏水性的不同介观结构表面,展示了该方法在表面工程中的潜力。我们的研究为以简单、低成本、快速且可扩展的方式制造功能性3D介观结构开辟了新的范例。
