Ultrafast Oleophobic−Hydrophilic Switching Surfaces for Antifogging, Self-Cleaning, and Oil−Water Separation P. S. Brown, O. D. L. A. Atkinson, and J. P. S. Badyal* Department of Chemistry Science Laboratories, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: Smooth copolymer−fluorosurfactant complex film surfaces are found to exhibit fast oleophobic−hydrophilic switching behavior. Equilibration of the high oil contact angle (hexadecane = 80°) and low water contact angle (
