Abstract

: Inspired by the water-repellent behavior of the micro- and nano-structured plant surfaces, superhydrophobic materials, with a water contact larger than 150° superhydrophobic surfaces using a combination of nanosphere lithography and plasma etching. It has been found that the water contact angle on these surfaces can be systematically tuned from 132° to 168° by trimming the diameters of polystyrene nanospheres using oxygen plasma. The water contact angles measured on these surfaces can be modeled by the Cassie's formulation without any adjustable parameter.
