摘要

Engineers of micro- and nanofluidic devices look at the biological world with envy because they see systems that can dynamically and reversibly respond to environmental cues. That is to say, they see versatile detectors and enticing flow-controlling gates. They covet the ability to engineer smart surfaces-substrates that can radically but reversibly switch conformational state in response to signals or environmental changes - that could be incorporated as microelectrome-chanical systems (MEMS) and components within lab-on-a-chip devices. But biological smart surfaces are complicated systems, which can be difficult to integrate into micro-fabricated devices. A far simpler option is polymercoated substrates. Polyelectrolyte brushes, in particular, possess great potential as smart surfaces because their structure is extremely sensitive to stimuli such as variations in temperature, pH, or salt concentration. External electric fields are an even more obvious route to altering the state of a polyelectrolyte brush. For instance, applying a field normal to the brush could provide easy, reproducible and fast control over switching from one conformational state to another.
