Stimulus-Responsive Soft Surface/Interface Toward Applications in Adhesion, Sensor and Biomaterial

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stimuli-Responsive Dewetting/Wetting Smart Surfaces and Interfaces

Part of the book series: Biologically-Inspired Systems ((BISY,volume 11))

Abstract

Surfaces/interfaces that respond to external stimulus, such as pH, salt, temperature, photo and electric field, represent one of the most active and emerging scientific research areas and have many unexplored applications. This evolving research field faces lots of exciting challenges regarding the design, fabrication and engineering of the surfaces/interfaces. In this chapter, the scientific progress in the area of stimulus-responsive gas-solid and liquid-solid surfaces/interfaces is highlighted. First, the synthetic methods of stimulus-responsive surfaces/interfaces by polymerization (grafting-from, grafting-to and grafting-through approaches) and adsorption of stimulus-responsive polymeric materials (micelles and microgels) are introduced. Then, the methods for characterization of such surfaces/interfaces, including spectroscopic and radiation methods, are discussed followed by descriptions of their applications in adhesion, lubrication, sensor, actuator, drug delivery and cell culture. Finally, challenges and future trends in this exciting field are also discussed. Tight interdisciplinary research is crucial to continue developing science and engineering of the stimulus-responsive surfaces/interfaces.
