Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201403021-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A series of surfaces that can either be fully wetted or non‐wetted by three kinds of ionic liquids</bold> (ILs) are successfully designed by rationally controlling surface chemistries and structures. Meanwhile, the adhesion forces between these surfaces and the ILs can also be effectively modulated in a wide range. This fundamental research will greatly promote the development of IL‐based materials in practical applications. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjhxbf330" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
