Inspired by the Stenoccara beetle, this project aims to create smart polymer surfaces that can capture and release water using light-triggered mechanisms. It focuses on developing porous films with unique structures to enhance water droplet adhesion and facilitate their detachment through light exposure.
Inspired by the Stenoccara beetle, the long term vision for this project is the development of biomimetic smart polymer surfaces which can capture water from humid night air and release it upon exposure to the morning sun through a light triggered mechanism.
In moving towards this goal, this project will synthesise new honeycomb structured porous films from light sensitive block copolymers.
Their unique hierarchical structure on both the micro- and nano-scales will be exploited for the adhesion…
