Three-Dimensional Thermoresponsive Polydimethylsiloxane Sponge with Reversible Superwettability for Switchable Oil/Water Separation and Particulate Matter Filtration
. Importantly, the PNIPAAm coating provides a stable superhydrophobic surface that ensures long-term PM filtration stability under high-humidity conditions, demonstrating that the smart wettability design indirectly but crucially supports air purification applications. Therefore, the smart switchable sponge can be a promising candidate for developing multifunctional superwettable surfaces for water and air pollution treatment.
