Controlled Cell Adhesion onto Photochemically Micropatterned Perfluoroalkyl Isocyanate Monolayer on Oxidized Aluminum
A superhydrophobic surface of a perfluoroalkyl isocyanate (R-F-NCO) layer on oxidized aluminum (Al-BW(Al2O3)) was photo-lithographed using masked 172-nm vacuum ultraviolet light to fabricate a superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic micropattern Cell-adhesion experiments revealed complete cell repellency on the superhydrophobic region of the R-F-NCO layer and cell adhesiveness on the superhydrophilic region of Al-BW(Al2O3) surface
