摘要：Directional control of droplets on a surface is an important issue for tasks of long-range liquid-transport, self-cleaning and water repellency. However, it is still challenging to control the structure motions in orientations so as to control the shedding-off of droplets. Herein, we report a novel dynamic magnetic responsive wall (DMRW) array on PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) -based surface. The walls can easily tilt through the effect of the external magnet because of the magnetic material in the DMRW. The droplets can be shed off directionally on the surface. Particularly, with the shape recovery and flexible properties, it achieves simultaneous control of the tilt angles (0-60°) of DMRW for shedding-off of droplets with different volumes (1-15 μL) under magnetic action on DMRW. The mechanism of droplet shedding-off on DMRW is elucidated by theory of interfaces. It offers an insight into design of dynamic interface for water repellency. This strategy realizes the preparation of multifunctional, tunable and directional drive functions.
