Herein, the fabrication of light‐sensitive high‐aspect ratio surfaces with switchable topography using melt‐electrowriting of shape‐memory polymers and deposition of light‐to‐heat converting black ink on it by dip coating is reported on. The lamellae exposed to low temperatures are hard and cannot be deformed by water droplets. The temperature reached upon illumination of surfaces is close to the melting point of the soft segment of the polyurethane that leads to softening of the polymer. Due to this, it is possible to locally deform and recover the light‐softened surface structures by water droplets deposited on lamellae. The deformed state can be fixed by cooling down resulting in the crystallization of the polymer. Thus, the reversibility of local deformation can be achieved. Finally, the application of the developed approach and materials for the fabrication of smart light‐controlled valves is demonstrated, which can be used for the controlled mixing of fluids in microfluidic devices. |
