ABSTRACT
In this study, different flexible structures that are morphologically like the micro-nano pillars, setae, and cilia on many natural organism surfaces are created with a novel fabricating strategy to explore the phenomenon and mechanism of static and dynamic droplets forming on them. Just by adjusting the mold pattern during fabrication, different micro/nanomorphologies including micro-nano pillar, filament, or flake arrays could be conveniently obtained on a pristine smooth film surface. Due to the existence of uniformly distributed hierarchical micro-nano structure arrays that are composed of top-down nanoscale filamentous tips, micro block bases, and grooves on the film, air trapped in arrays connects the atmosphere continuously and forms a successive air-pocket layer, which greatly reduces the solid-liquid interfacial fraction and endows the micro-nanotextured film with the capability of superhydrophobicity, low-adhesion, self-cleaning, anti-icing, and deicing characteristics. Through various mechanical and chemical tests, the film has demonstrated its robustness, making it highly suitable for a wide range of practical engineering applications.
