Stimuli-Responsive Dewetting/Wetting Smart Surfaces and Interfaces

Superhydrophobic surfaces, artificially mimicking lotus leaves, have captured the attention of scientists and engineers over the past few decades. Recent trends have shifted from superhydrophobicity to superominipohobicity, or superamphiphobicity. In addition, dynamic rather than static surface wetting/dewetting properties, which can be triggered by various stimuli, including temperature, pH, magnetic/electric fields, solvents, light exposure etc, have been highly sought after for commercial applications. This book will focus on recent topics related to various stimuli-responsive wetting/dewetting surfaces, and give an overview of the knowledge and concepts of how to design and establish these smart artificial surfaces, which can be used for technical developments in a wide variety research fields.

Atsushi Hozumi is a group leader of Advanced Surface and Interface Chemistry Group, Structural Materials Research Institute, The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Nagoya, Japan. He received a PhD in Material Processing Engineering at Nagoya University, Japan, in 1997. He then joined National Industrial Research Institute of Nagoya (NIRIN), Ministry of Trade and Industry, Japan in 1999 (reorganized as AIST in 2001). He also spent 2007 as a visiting scholar at University of Bristol, England (Prof. Stephen Mann's group) and as a visiting professor of University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA (Prof. Thomas J. McCarthy's group). His research interests are wettability/dewettability, biomimetic materials, micro/nanofabrication and self-assembled monolayers, and their practical applications. He currently serves on the editorial boards of the Materials Letters, Elsevier.

Lei Jiang received his B.S. degree in solid state physics (1987), and M.S. degree in physical chemistry (1990) from Jilin University in China. From 1992 to 1994, he studied in the University of Tokyo in Japan as a China-Japan joint course Ph.D. student and received his Ph.D. degree from Jilin University of China with Prof. Tiejin Li. Then, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Akira Fujishima's group in the University of Tokyo. In 1996, he worked as researcher in Kanagawa Academy of Sciences and Technology, Prof. Hashimoto's project. In 1999, he joined Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In 2015, he moved to the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, CAS. Since 2008, he also served as the dean of School of Chemistry and Environment in Beihang University. He was elected as members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and The World Academy of Sciences in 2009 and 2012. In 2016, he also elected as a foreign member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He has been recognized for his accomplishments with Humboldt Research Award (Germany, 2017), Nikkei Asia Prize (Japan, 2016), MRS Mid-Career Researcher Award (USA, 2014), National Natural Science Award (China, 2005), and many other honors and awards. He has published over 500 papers including 3 papers in Nature, 1 paper in Science, 1 paper in Nature Nanotechnology, 1paper in Nature Reviews Materials, 1 paper in Nature Materials, 6 papers in Natural Communication, 5 papers in Science Advance, 3 papers in Chem. Rev., 7 papers in Chem. Soc. Rev., 6 papers in Acc. Chem. Res., 46 papers in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 31 papers in J. Am. Chem. Soc., and 128 papers in Adv. Mater., the works have been cited more than 56000 times with an H index of 117. Professor Haeshin Lee studied at KAIST where he received his B.S. degree in Biological Sciences between in 1996. He received his Ph.D. degree at Biomedical Engineering Department, Northwestern University in 2007. He started his professional carrier from 2009 at Department of Chemistry, KAIST. He is a currently director of Center for Nature-inspired Technology (CNiT) at KAIST. Haeshin Lee invented the first material-independent surface chemistry named 'polydopamine' in 2007, and this study has been one of the most cited paper in surface chemistry. He is the founding member of Korea Academy of Science Young Scholars and is an Associate Editor in Biomaterials Science (RSC).

After graduating from Kyushu University in 1980, Masatsugu Shimomura engaged in the field of biomimetic chemistry as an assistant professor of Prof. Toyoki Kunitake's laboratory. He developed the research of polymeric Langmuir-Blodgett films at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology as an associate professor from 1985, and moved to Hokkaido University at 1993 for starting a new laboratory of the bottom-up nanotechnology based on self-organization and biomimetics. Self-organized honeycomb-patterned polymer films are newly developed by collaboration with many industrial companies and the RIKEN institute where he held concurrently post of the principle investigator from 1999 to 2007. After moving to Tohoku University at 2007 he organized a national research project on Engineering Neo-Biomimetics, and started an educational program on biomimetics at Chitose Institute of Science and Technology from 2014. He worked with Prof. Helmut Ringsdorf of Mainz University in 1982 and Prof. Erich Sackmann of TU-Munich in 1987, respectively. He is a Professor emeritus of Hokkaido University and Tohoku University.
