제목 Flexible and Robust Superomniphobic Surfaces Created by Localized Photofluidization of Azopolymer
초록 Springtails possess robust omniphobic skins with doubly re-entrant structures (DRS). Although omniphobic surfaces are promising for various applications, it remains an important challenge to mimic the structural feature of springtails. This paper presents a pragmatic method to create DRS and robust super-omniphobic surfaces by exploiting localized photofluidization of azopolymers. Irradiation of circularly-polarized light reconfigures azopolymer pillars to have a mushroom-like head with a DRS through protrusion and inward bending of polymer film from the top edge. The unique geometry exhibits super-omniphobicity even for liquids whose equilibrium contact angles are almost zero in the presence of a practical level of external pressure. The simple fabrication process is highly reproducible, scalable, and compatible with various substrate materials. Our results suggest that our photofluidization technology will provide a practical route to create robust super-omniphobic surfaces.
