Abstract

A bottom-up, ink-combination method to rapidly achieve a water wettability and adhesion transition in situ with a great contrast on super-amphiphobic TiO2 nanostructured films is developed. On page 4865, Y.-K. Lai, K.-Q. Zhang, L.-F. Chi, and co-workers show why the multifunctional superamphiphobic TiO2 nanostructure surfaces with switchable wettability and adhesion engineering are excellent templates for microdroplet manipulation (storage, moving, mixing, and transfer), positive and negative micropatterning, specific gas sensing, and site-selective biomedical scaffolds.
