| Abstract | Wettability of a solid surface is highly important to its practical application, especially for the surface that shows thermo-responsive properties. In this paper, we describe a thermo-responsive stick-slip behavior of water droplets on the surfaces of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-grafted polypropylene membranes. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images elucidate that the morphology of PNIPAM-grafted membrane surface is thermo-responsive, i.e., the surface becomes rougher above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM. On the surface of nascent polypropylene membranes, the water droplet shows a smooth motion resulting in advancing and receding water contact angles of 111° and ∼65°, respectively. On the PNIPAM-grafted membrane surfaces, the water droplet shows a stick-slip pattern above the LCST, whereas it advances smoothly below the LCST. This phenomenon is reproducible and can be ascribed to the energy barriers enhanced by the shrink of PNIPAM chains above the LCST. We also find that the slip contact angle decreases from 102° to 92° after several stick-slip cycles. This decrease is attributed to the water adsorption on the grafted PNIPAM layer, which is confirmed by the continuous decrease of the receding water contact angle. |

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.
