Tuneable Microparticle Filters

We introduce microparticle filters with temperature tuneable size cut-off and surface energy. At room temperature, the filter cut-off is 164 ±23 μm, and the filter is water-absorbing/oil-repelling (hydrophilic). At 50 °C, the filter cut-off is 695±31 μm, and the filter is oil-absorbing/water-repelling (hydrophobic).
