Nucleotide-responsive wettability on a smart polymer surface

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Jun 24;131(24):8370-1. doi: 10.1021/ja9028632.

Abstract

A smart copolymer film that is sensitive to nucleotide species in solution was developed. The film exhibits ann excellent reversible wettability response to nucleotide solutions, which is accompanied by a phase change and the corresponding swell and shrinkage of the copolymer.
