Abstract
To mimic the lotus leaf structure, micro- and nanometer honeycomb-like porous hierarchical microstructures were constructed on the Al2024 alloy surface in which the average diameter of micro-pores was ca. 10 μm while those of nano-pores varied from 200 to 300 nm. Super-hydrophobicity was achieved with a water contact angle of 158° and the sliding angle of 4° by modifying the textured surface with HFTHTMS (HFTHTMS = (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyl) trimethoxysilane).
