Abstract
In this work, inspired by the structure of spider web, the water-resistant sticky polypropylene (PP) net was fabricated for capturing mosquitoes here. The waterresistant pre-glue was first obtained through mixing liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), solid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microparticles and tetraethyl silicate (TEOS), where TEOS was used as cross linker to enhance adhesion strength. The sticky mosquitoes PP net was obtained through heating the PP net painted with the water-resistant pre-glue uniformly on the two sides of PP net at 60°C for 2 days. This sticky mosquitoes PP net works well in sticking mosquitoes even in the humid air.
