Abstract
A polypropylene/methyl-silicone superhydrophobic surface was prepared using a simple casting method. Varying the ratio of polypropylene and methyl-silicone results in different surface microstructure. The wetting behavior of the as-prepared surface was investigated. A polypropylene monolithic material was also prepared. Its superhydrophobicity still retains when the material was cut or abraded. The as-prepared material can also be used to separate some organic solvents from water.
