Organogels (hydrophobic polymer gels) are soft materials based on polymeric networks swollen in organic solvents. They are hydrophobic and possess a high content of solvent and low surface adhesion, rendering them interesting in applications such as encapsulants, drug delivery, actuators, slippery surfaces (self-cleaning, anti-waxing, anti-bacterial), or for oil-water separation To design functional organogels, strategies to control their shape and surface structure are required. Herein, the inherent UV photodegradability of poly(methacrylate) organogels is reported. No addnl. photosensitizers are required to efficiently degrade organogels on the minute scale. A low UV absorbance and a high swelling ability of the solvent infusing the organogel are found to be beneficial for fast photodegradation, which is expected to be transferrable to other gel photochem. Organogel arrays, films, and structured organogel surfaces are prepared, and their extraction ability and slippery properties are examined Films of inherently photodegradable organogels on copper circuit boards serve as the first ever pos. gel photoresist. Spatially photodegraded organogel films protect or reveal copper surfaces against an etchant (FeCl3 aqueous).
