Abstract
Super-hydrophobic and super-oleophilic surface based on high-density polyethylene/styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer/waste ground rubber tire powder thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) was successfully prepared while metallographic sandpaper was used as a template. Field emission scanning electron microscope study showed that the molded TPE surface with W7 grade sandpaper possessed the rough microstructure; moreover, the micrometer scale strips resulting from the plastic deformation of TPE matrix could be observed obviously, leading to the increasing surface roughness. Wettability tests showed that the molded TPE surfaces with series sandpapers exhibited the hydrophobic and super-oleophilic properties; moreover, the surface molded with W7 grade sandpaper showed the remarkable super-hydrophobic and super-oleophilic properties.
