DYNAMICALLY MODIFIABLE POLYMER COATINGS AND DEVICES
摘要
A dynamic coating includes at least one patterned polymeric layer for attachment to a surface. The polymeric layer includes at least one electrically conducting polymer including layer. Under influence of a dynamic signal applied to the polymeric layer, a contact angle of the polymeric layer dynamically and substantially increase, or decreases upon oxidation or reduction of the polymer. The polymeric layer an also expand or contract upon oxidation or reduction. The coating can be used for a variety of applications including a non-toxic biofouling preventative system, for forming low voltage electrowetting pumps, or for resisting corrosion of metal surfaces.
