Quartz surfaces and colloidal silica particles were derivatized with a poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymer containing spirobenzopyran (SP) photochromic molecules in the pendant groups at a concentration of 20 mol %. Two-photon near-IR excitation (similar to 780 nm) was then used to create chemically distinct patterns on the modified surfaces through a photochromic process of SP transformation to the zwitterionic merocyanine (MC) isomer. The derivatized colloids were approximately 10 times more likely to adsorb onto the photoswitched, MC regions. Surface coverage and adsorption kinetics have been compared to the mean-field model of irreversible monolayer adsorption.
