Novel quasi-one-dimensional anisotropic wetting surface with micro-ordered/submicro-disordered structure: Fabrication and wetting properties

► Quasi-one-dimensional (Q-1-D) wetting surface with hierarchical structure was prepared. ► The preparation steps include mesh impression, etching method and replication. ► The Q-1-D replica exhibited distinctive anisotropic wettability. ► The etching time affected the properties greatly by changing the topographies.
