摘 要:The natural hydrophobicity of surfaces can be enhanced if they are microtextured due to air trapped in the structure, which provides the deposited drop with a composite surface made of solid and air on which it is rest. Here, a series of grating microstructure surfaces with different parameters have been designed and fabricated by a novel soft lithography. The water contact angles (WCA) on these rough surfaces are measured through optical contact angle meter. The results indicate that all the WCA on the surfaces with grating microstructures are up to 150°; WCA increases and the hydrophobic performance also enhances with the decrease of the ridge width under the other fixed parameter condition; Experimental data obtained basically consists with the Cassie’s theoretical prediction. The effects of geometric parameters of the microstructures on wettability of the grating sufaces are investigated.
