Temperature-Driven Switching of Water Adhesion on Organogel Surface

Temperature‐driven switching of water adhesion is realized on a novel n‐paraffinswollen organogel by thermally controlling the transition of air/liquid/solid (ALS/ALLS) systems via the phasechange process of n‐paraffin. The thermal control of both the water‐drop sliding motion and the switching of t...

Description
Summary:Temperature‐driven switching of water adhesion is realized on a novel n‐paraffinswollen organogel by thermally controlling the transition of air/liquid/solid (ALS/ALLS) systems via the phasechange process of n‐paraffin. The thermal control of both the water‐drop sliding motion and the switching of the optical transparency shows potential applications in scientific research and daily life.
