Abstract
Superhydrophobic surface with mechanical stability and corrosion resistance is long expected due to its practical applications. We show that a micro-nano scale hierarchical structured Pd-based metallic glass surface with superhydrophobic effect can be prepared by the thermoplastic forming, which is a unique and facile synthesis strategy for metallic glasses. The superhydrophobic metallic glass surface without modification of low surface energy chemical layer also exhibits superior mechanical stability and corrosion resistance compared with conventional superhydrophobic materials. Our results indicate that the metallic glass is a promising candidate superhydrophobic material for applications.
