Reversible Surface Wettability Conversion of ZnO Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ZnO films were fabricated by chemical oxidation of metallic Zn in a 5% N, N-dimethyl- formamide (DMF) aqueous solution at 95°C for 24h. After modified with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), a superhydrophobic ZnO film was obtained. The superhydrophobic film turned into a superhydrophilic one after UV irradiation, which can be recovered through being placed in the dark.
