Superhydrophobic Thermoset Elastomers with Excellent Stability to Rain Erosion and Water Immersion

Kujan E., Farshchian B., Xu Q., Feldman M., Lyons A., ARL Designs LLC, US

Polymeric materials with superhydrophobic surfaces are advantageous for industrial applications such as electrical insulators, roof membranes and seals because their surfaces are self-cleaning and remain dry when exposed to rain. However most superhydrophobic surfaces are [...]

Simple Fabrication of Hierarchical Structures on a Polymer Surface

Farshchian B., Hurst S.M., Ok J.T., Park S., Louisiana State University, US

In this study, inspired by multiscale structures found in nature like lotus leaf we will try to make multiscale structures on polymer surfaces to make their surface superhydrophobe. We introduce a novel and effective method [...]

Fabrication of Nanostructures on Curved Surfaces Using PDMS Stamp

Farshchian B., Park S., Louisiana State University, US

In this study we report on a simple and effective process that allows direct imprinting of micro- and nanostructures on concave and convex substrates using a flexible stamp and pressurized air . One of the [...]
