Replication of Highly-Hydrophobic Surface with Micro/Nano Combined Structures from Nature

Lee S.M., Kwon T.H., Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR

A highly-hydrophobic film has successfully been fabricated by simply replicating plant leaf surface with micro/nano combined structures. A plant leaf was used as a master to make a mold by nickel electroforming. The positive polymer [...]

Fabrication of Hydrophobic Film using Plant Leaves from Nature

Lee H.S., Lee S.M., Lee H.S., Lee S.M., Kwon T.H., Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR

In this study, we have attempted to reproduce the hydrophobic characteristics of plant leaves from nature by replicating the micro/nano feature of leaf surface in UV embossed film. The contact angle (CA) of the replicated [...]
