Multifunctional laser‐induced graphene papers with combined defocusing and grafting processes for patternable and continuously tunable wettability from superlyophilicity to superlyophobicity

摘要: Functional surfaces with tunable and patternable wettability have attracted significant research interests because of remarkable advantages in biomedicine, environmental, and energy storage applications. Based on combined defocusing and grafting strategy for processing laser‐induced graphene papers (LIGPs) with variable surface roughness (58.18–6.08 µm) and F content (0–25.9%), their wettability can be tuned continuously from superlyophilicity (contact angle CA ≈ 0°) to superlyophobicity (CA > 150°), for various liquids with a wide range of surface tensions from 27.5 to 72.8 mN m−1. In addition to reaching multiple wetting characteristics including amphiphilic, amphiphobic, and hydrophobic–oleophilic states, three designable processes are further developed for achieving LIGPs with various wetting patterns, including hydrophilic arrays or channels, hydrophobic‐to‐hydrophilic gradients, and Janus …
