Capacitively coupled radiofrequency plasma nanotexturing assisted by an Au film mask is carried out to fabricate the fluorocarbon-film decorated nanowires bundles from the semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) and amorphous PolyMethyl methacrylate (PMMA) subatrates. The spacing distance and height of the nanowires in a bundle on the PE and PMMA substrates are adjusted by the thickness of Au film mask. The complete rebound phenomenon occurs when the droplets impact with a high speed on the nanowire bundles. The nanowire bundles exhibit an improved superhydrophobicity. The narrow spacing distance between the nanowires is beneficial to the antiwetting of superhydrophobic surface. The low reflectivity of the nanowire bundles is also obtained with an incident light wavelength from 400 to 2000 nm. The antireflection property of the nanowire bundles is caused by the high height of nanowires in a bundle. The nanowire bundles on the PE and PMMA substrates prepared by the plasma nanotexturing assisted by the Au film mask have the excellent antiwetting and antireflection properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
