  • Surface texturing of catechol derivative urushiol was achieved using a thermal imprinting technique. An indented surface was obtained by thermal curing at 100 °C for 10 min while pressing an urushi film with a patterned mold. The indented surface enhanced the static water contact angle in comparison with the flat urushi film.

  • Both looped and linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer brushes were fabricated onto a Si substrate using the ‘grafting to’ method. As water is a poor solvent for PDMS, linear polymer brushes tended to be dewetted in water, forming aggregates. Therefore, a linear polymer brush showed a rough surface in water. In contrast, a looped polymer brush surface was smooth even in water. Aggregation was suppressed because both ends were tethered to the surface.
