Reversible wettability conversion of electrodeposited graphene oxide/titania nanocomposite coating

What is it about?

Reversible properties of GO/TiO2-coated samples were observed from superhydrophobicity to superhydrophilicity, controlled by alternating UV radiation and thermal treatment of the coating.
