This study reports the wettability transition from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles induced by temperature. The functionalization of these nanoparticles was used for the production of self-cleaning, anti-biofouling, or corrosion-resistant materials.
The superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces and their transitions are of great interest for the production of self-cleaning, anti-biofouling, or corrosion-resistant materials. This work reports the wettability transition from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) and induced by temperature. The functionalization of these nanoparticles was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy. The functionalization of SiO2 nanoparticles with POTS resulted in superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles up to 157 degrees. A sudden transition to superhydrophilic behavior with water contact angles (WCA) below 5 degrees was observed when the sample was heat-treated at 500 degrees C, despite the presence of fluorine on the surface of these nanoparticles, as confirmed by XPS and transmission electron microscopy. XPS suggested that the transition was caused by the change in orientation of the fluoroalkyl molecules and its partial decomposition due to the loss of the -CF3 group, resulting in shorter chains with a tail-end group with C-O bonds, which promoted the superhydrophilicity.
