Metal Ion-assisted Fabrication of Hierarchically Structured Superhydrophobic Surfaces on Mg Plates

摘要

Nature provides abundant examples of spectacular functions that have evolved in response to certain environmental demands, as exemplified by the wax-coated superhydropho-bic surface of self-cleaning lotus leafs. Generally, such self-cleaning superhydrophobic surfaces are characterized by nano/microscale roughness and low surface energy, exhibiting water contact angles above 150° and sliding angles of less than 10°.
