| Abstract | Control over the surface morphology of solids as well as manufacturing of functional biomimetic surfaces with special responsive properties, also known as “smart surfaces”, have attracted intense scientific research effort. The recent surge of interest in these responsive systems stems from the widespread number of applications ranging from environmental cleanup to molecular sensors and micro/nano fluidic devices. We report here a methodology for the development of multifunctional responsive surfaces via ablating Si wafers with femtosecond laser pulses and subsequently coating them with different types of functional coatings [1]. The initial laser structured surfaces exhibit controlled dual-scale roughness at both the micro- and the nano-scale, which mimics the hierarchical morphology of responsive surfaces found in nature. Depending on the conformal coating deposited onto these surfaces, the following functionalities and reversible responsive properties are attained: a) pH responsiveness (Fig. 1a): when a polymer brush is “grafted from” these surfaces based on a pH-sensitive polymer, these artificially structured surfaces can alter their behaviour from super-hydrophilic (after immersion in a low pH buffer) to super-hydrophobic and water repellent (following immersion to a high pH buffer), (b) Photo-responsiveness (Fig. 1b): when photo-responsive azobenzene molecules are grafted onto the surface, a dynamic optical control of the wetting properties is obtained and the surface can be switched from super-hydrophilic (after irradiation with UV light) to hydrophobic (following irradiation with visible light), (c) Electro-responsiveness (Fig. 1c): when a conformal oxide layer is thermally grown, a dynamic electrical control of the wettability can be achieved by means of electrowetting and (d) Chemo-responsiveness (Fig. 1d): when the surface is electrochemically etched to form a porous Si layer selective sensitivity to organic solvents is obtained. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
