Abstract
Materials capable of dynamically controlling surface chemistry and topography are highly desirable. We have designed a system that is uniquely able to remotely control the presented functionality and geometry at a given time by using a functionalizable shape memory material. This was accomplished by incorporating controlled amounts of an azide-containing monomer into a shape memory polymeric material. These materials are capable of physically changing surface geometry over a broad range of length scales from >1 mm to 100 nm. Using copper-assisted click chemistry, they can be functionalized with a variety of molecules to yield different surfaces. Combining these features gave materials that can change both the presented geometry and functionality at tunable transition temperatures.
