Abstract

A biomimetic super-hydrophobic/super-hydrophilic micropatterned template was successfully fabricated by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lithography. Water drops were selectively condensed on super-hydrophilic regions of the template. In the solution of pH 2.6, carboxyl-terminated fluorescent polystyrene spheres were sedimented on super-hydrophobic regions due to electrostatic attractive forces between negative -COO- and positive -CH3 groups. Cu was also deposited densely on only super-hydrophobic regions through electroless plating. From these results, we revealed that the biomimetic super-hydrophobic/super-hydrophilic micropatterned template was used as site-selective chemical reaction field.
