Abstract
A responsive coated substrate, said substrate comprising an interfacial surface to which a responsive coating attaches, said responsive coating comprising (a) at least one silicone-based, substantially hydrophobic polymer and (b) at least one substantially hydrophilic polymer wherein said responsive coating substrate is in a first state; and methods of coating the same.
Claims13
A substrate comprising coated particles grafted to the interfacial surface of the substrate, the particle coating comprising:
- a. at least one silicone-based, substantially hydrophobic polymer and
- b. at least one substantially hydrophilic polymer
- wherein upon depositing the particles on the substrate, the coating's polymers attach to the surface of the particle allowing said particle to be programmed to exist in a first state where upon exposure to an external stimulus, the particle responds and is transformed from its first state to a second and distinguishable state.
