Abstract:
A selective wetting material comprising a photosensitive film, the photosensitive film formed from a two-component plasma reaction in a substantially air-evacuated plasma chamber, a first component of the two-component plasma reaction comprising a non-carbon containing and non-oxygenated silicon donor, and a second component of the two-component plasma reaction comprising a non-silicon containing and non-oxygenated organic precursor, the photosensitive film comprising photosensitive (Siâ€”H) and (Siâ€”Si) fragments situated in a non-silicon containing and non-photosensitive organic polymer matrix, the photosensitive film having a one or more selective wetting regions formed from the exposure of the one or more selective wetting regions to a radiated electromagnetic energy in the presence of oxygen, the one or more selective wetting regions comprising silicon oxides formed from oxidation of silicon in the (Siâ€”H) and (Siâ€”Si) fragments, whereby a liquid brought into contact with the photosensitive film selectively wets and adheres to the one or more selective wetting regions of the photosensitive film.
