Abstract
⺠We present a facile method to control the water affinity of the surface by composite films. ⺠The contact angle of PMMA/TiO2 composite films reaches 140° at 50 vol.% of TiO2. ⺠Preferential orientation of PMMA accounts for the strong hydrophobicity. ⺠UV light exposure turns the surface of the films to be superhydrophilic. ⺠Polymer removal and mesoporous structure are responsible for superhydrophilicity.
