Abstract

Rough and flat titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surfaces were prepared, and the effect of water pH on the underwater wettability of oleic acid on the TiO₂ surfaces was investigated. The underwater contact angle of oleic acid on the relatively flat TiO₂ surface depended on the pH of water in the range pH 3–5. The repellency of oleic acid on the relatively flat TiO₂ surface increased with decreasing pH. On the other hand, the hierarchical rough TiO₂ surface repelled oleic acid in water, regardless of the pH of water.
