Superhydrophobic Surface by Replication of Laser Micromachined Pattern in Epoxy/Alumina Nanoparticle Composite

Figure 10

Water contact angles (a) and sliding angles (b) recorded at subsequent stages of the master replication process: unmodified Al masters, Al masters hydrophobized with PFTDTES, PDMS negative replicas hydrophobized with PFTDTES, plain epoxy positive replicas hydrophobized with PFTDTES, and epoxy/ALNP replicas hydrophobized with PFTDTES.
