Selective altering of surface wettability in microfluidic channels provides a suitable platform for a large range of processes, such as the phase separation of multiphase systems, synthesis of reaction controlled, nanoliter sized droplet reactors, and catalyst impregnation. Herein we study the feasibility to tune the wettability of a flexible cyclic olefin copolymer (COC). Two methods were considered for enhancing the surface hydrophilicity. The first is argon/oxygen plasma treatment, where the effect of treatment duration on water contact angle and COC surface morphology and chemistry were investigated, and the second is coating COC with GO dispersions of different concentrations. For enhancing the hydrophobicity of GO-coated COC surfaces, three reduction methods were considered: chemical reduction by Hydroiodic acid (HI), thermal reduction, and photo reduction by exposure of GO-coated COC to UV light. The results show that as the GO concentration and plasma treatment duration increased, a significant decrease in contact angle was observed, which confirmed the ability to enhance the wettability of the COC surface. The increase in hydrophilicity during plasma treatment was associated with the increase in surface roughness on the treated surfaces, while the increase during GO coating was associated with introducing oxygen-containing groups on the GO-coated COC surfaces. The results also show that the different reduction methods considered can increase the contact angle and improve the hydrophobicity of a GO-coated COC surface. It was found that the significant improvement in hydrophobicity was related to the reduction of oxygen-containing groups on the GO-coated COC modified surface.

The increase of aggregation number in a star-shaped cyclic olefin copolymer was succeeded by using a triazine-based secondary amine, which caused a drastic change in physical properties without changing the thermal properties.
