Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A facile, in situ, ink‐regulating approach is developed <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on page 1682</ext-link> by Lifeng Chi, Yuekun Lai, and co‐workers for rapidly reversible water wettability and adhesion transition, with a large degree of contrast, on superhydrophobic TiO₂ nanotube array film. This finding provides new strategies in the design of siteselective, sticky superhydrophobic patterns for droplet manipulation and cell immobilization. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8vmgkn" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
