Abstract

Plant-based materials have recently been used as eco-friendly, water-repellent, light-transparent films for liquid crystal displays and optical devices. An approach using an eco-friendly light-transparent film derived from psicose has been successfully developed to prepare a regular nanostructure of conical moth-eyes with diameter less than approximately 200nm, water contact angle of 120°, and relatively low imprint pressure of 9 N for 100 imprints. We report and demonstrate the water repellency of the new eco-friendly film with 97% light transparency prepared with a 40wt% ratio of plant-based materials using an ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography process.
