Abstract EN

Biomimetic superhydrophobic surface was fabricated by replicating topography of the fresh fish skin surface of Navodon septentrionalis with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer.

A two-step replicating method was developed to make the surface structure of the fresh fish skin be replicated with high fidelity.

After duplication, it was found that the static contact angle of the replica was as large as 173°.

Theoretic analysis based on Young's and Cassie-Baxter (C-B) model was performed to explain the relationship between structure and hydrophobicity.
