Abstract

Smart fabrics that reversibly switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity were developed using a combination of hierarchical nanostructured fibrous webs and a pH-responsive polymer that experiences pH-dependent conformational transitions, poly[2-(diisopropylamino)ethylmethacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate].
