Abstract
Herein, we present a one-step facile spray-deposition process for fabricating a new superhydrophobic surface with a novel statistical copolymer. The polymeric material is relatively inexpensive, easily prepared, transparent, solvent-processable, very simple, and applicable to rugged substrates. The materials presented herein also feature a near-perfect superhydrophobic surface with a static water contact angle of 178° and a transmittance of higher than 75% at 550 nm wavelength.
