Bioinspired honeycomb-like porous films with switchable properties have drawn much attention recently owing to their potential application in scenarios in which the conversion between two opposite properties is required. Herein, the CO2-gas-triggered ON/OFF switching wettability of biocompatible polylactic acid (PLA) honeycomb porous films is fabricated. Highly ordered porous films with diameters between 2.0 and 2.8 μm are separately prepared from complexes of nonresponsive PLA and a CO2-sensitive melamine derivative [N2,N4,N6-tris(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, MET] via the breath figure method. The hydrophilic CO2-sensitive groups can be precisely arranged in the pore's inner surface and/or top surface of the films by simply changing the PLA/MET ratio. The sensitive groups in the pore's inner surface act as a switch triggered by CO2 gas controlling water to enter the pores or not, thus resulting in ON/OFF switching wettability. The largest response of the water contact angle of honeycomb films reaches 35°, from 100 to 65°, leading to an obvious hydrophobic-hydrophilic conversion. The improved surface wettability enhances the interaction between the cell and honeycomb film surface, thus resulting in a better cell attachment. Such smart properties accompanying the biocompatible polymer and biological gas trigger facilitate possible biomedical and bioengineering applications in the future for these films.
