Abstract
Flexible superhydrophobic films are fabricated by thermally evaporating silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the created flexible hemispheres arrays and modifying the Ag NPs surface with 1-dodecanethiol. The morphology of the generated biomimic film is similar to natural lotus leaves consisting of hierarchical micro/nano structures. The biomimic film exhibits remarkable superhydrophobicity with a high water contact angle (CA) of about 166° and a low sliding angle (SA) of less than 3°.
