… Recently, we have reported that the honeycomb-patterned films of fluorinated polymers
show superhydrophobicity. However, the films formed were not transparent because the
pore size was larger than 1 μm. In the present report we have succeeded in reducing the
pore size of honeycomb-patterned fluorinated polymer films to below sub-wavelength.
Scanning electron microscopy reveals that the sub-wavelength pores (the smallest size ∼
100 nm) were generated by rapid solvent evaporation. The effect of …
The sub-wavelength honeycomb-patterned films, which have optical transparency and superhydrophobicity, were fabricated by using condensed water droplets on the surface of a fluorinated polymer solution casting under humid conditions as the template.
