Abstract

A coumarin-driven switchable superhydrophobic silica surface by photochemistry is fabricated and Wenzel–Cassie wetting transition occurs on the surface under UV light (365 nm, 254 nm) irradiation. In addition, the as-prepared sample changes from random nanoparticle aggregates to necklaces (rings) through altering UV light irradiation.
