Preparation of Super Hydrophobic Surfaces by the Stainless Steel Wire Mesh as Templates

Abstract:

A facile method for manufacturing super hydrophobic surfaces is presented using the stainless steel wire mesh as templates. The rough surfaces of polymers including polycarbonate, polypropylene and PMMA are prepared with hot embossing on different specifications of stainless steel wire mesh. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that the surfaces roughness of the polymers can be controlled by selecting templates. Contact angle measurement shows that the water contact angles(WCA) rise with the increase of surface roughness, especially, the water contact angle on the PC surfaces prepared with specifications of 635mesh screen can reach to 152.3°, alias super hydrophobic surfaces.
