Abstract

Flexible molds with micro-nano hierarchical structures on the surface were fabricated by a two-step template process using anodic porous alumina as a starting material. The obtained flexible molds could be used to form micro-nano hierarchical pillar arrays on the surface of glass tubes and convex lenses by photo-nanoimprinting. The contact angle characteristics of the surfaces with hierarchical pillar arrays were measured, and it was confirmed that they exhibit superhydrophobic properties with a water-droplet contact angle exceeding 150°. The flexible molds obtained in this study can be used repeatedly and efficiently to form micro-nano hierarchical surfaces with superhydrophobic properties on the surfaces of substrates with various curvatures.
