Abstract
ABSTRACTA novel method is presented for the construction of a hierarchical microstructure/nanostructure via the chemical self‐assembly of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) particles on polyester fibers. The textile of the particle‐bound fibers possessed smart wettability and an oil‐absorbing capacity. The wettability was dependent on the initial contact angle and spreading time of water droplets on the particle‐bound textile, which could be controlled with the content of acrylic acid inserted into the polymer chains. The wettability of the particle‐bound textile was responsive to the pH value. In addition, the textile was superoleophilic on an air–solid surface and could absorb oil quickly from water. The oil‐absorbing capacity could be controlled by the alteration of the pH value. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 46834.
