AbstractThe fabrication of micron-scale channels and reaction chambers using micromachining techniques has created devices with large surface to volume ratios. As a result, surface properties play a major role in determining the behavior of micromachined devices. In this work, we present strategies that can be used to reconfigure surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic or from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The reversible nature of the surface is made possible by using deposition and removal of biomolecules or amphiphiles on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). When the initial surface was hydrophobic (using a CH3-terminated SAM on the surface, water contact angle ∼100), it was rendered hydrophilic (water contact angle ≤60°) using monolayer adsorption of avidin protein. To retrieve the hydrophobicity, the avidin was subsequently removed using non-ionic surfactant octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside. Moreover, by incorporating a biotinylated poly(ethyleneglycol), the avidin-coated surface was resistant to further non-specific adsorption. If the initial surface was hydrophilic (using a CO2H-terminated SAM on the surface, water contact angle ≤20°), it was rendered hydrophobic (water contact angle >90°) using monolayer amphiphilic octadecylamine adsorption. The hydrophilicity was restored after subsequently removing the amphiphile using anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate. Both types of surfaces showed excellent reversibility and demonstrated the ability to control surface wettability.

ABSTRACT We investigated surface selection and adhesion of motile zoospores of a green, macrofouling alga (Enteromorpha) to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) having a range of wettabilities. The SAMs were formed from alkyl thiols terminated with methyl (CH3) or hydroxyl (OH) groups or mixtures of CH3- and OH-terminated alkyl thiols and were characterized by measuring the advancing contact angles and by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. There was a positive correlation between the number of spores that attached to the SAMs and increasing contact angle (hydrophobicity). Moreover, the sizes of the spore groups (adjacent spores touching) were larger on the hydrophobic SAMs. Video microscopy of a patterned arrangement of SAMs showed that more zoospores were engaged in swimming and “searching” above the hydrophobic sectors than above the hydrophilic sectors, suggesting that the cells were able to “sense” that the hydrophobic surfaces were more favorable for settlement. The results are discussed in relation to the attachment of microorganisms to substrata having different wettabilities.
