Poly(NIPAM-co-MAA) polymer being used to prepare a thermosensitive switchable Al surfaces.
HCl has used as an etchant on Al surface to coat the polymer.
Unlike conventional synthesis method, Poly(NIPAM-co-MAA) was deposited with direct coating method to reduce the processing steps and time.
Introducing polymer on the etched Al surface enhance the physical properties.
Thermosensitive behavior of polymer coated Al substrate was studied.
