Chemically selective raising and rolling of oil-droplets underwater: an equipment-free chemical sensing method

Abstract

A dual chemically reactive multilayer coating is rationally subjected to mono- and dual-functionalization through a 1,4-conjugate addition reaction at ambient conditions to depict the raising of the oil contact angle and rolling of a beaded oil-droplet underwater, respectively, only in the presence of targeted toxic chemicals (e.g. nitrite ion and hydrazine). Rational switching of the hydrophobic aromatic moiety into a hydrophilic moiety in the modified multilayer coatings via selected modified Griess reaction and Schiff base reaction contributed to the desired change in underwater oil-wettability and oil-adhesion. Eventually, this approach allowed equipment-free and naked-eye chemical sensing with high selectivity and sensitivity.
