Keywords: hierarchical structures, PMDS, superhydrophobic surfaces
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 to make hierarchical structures on polymer surface. Also, we will investigate the effect of structure dimensions on wettability of polymer surface.
