摘要
Inspired by the co-coupling of the non-smooth structure and the waxy layer inducing the hydrophobicity of dragonfly wing surface,we developed a simple and versatile method to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface with the dragonfly wing structures.In this work,Ag nanorods grew on highly ordered anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) surface via a galvanic reduction approach.Then the AAO-Ag multilayer was fabricated.Furthermore,the surface free energy of AAO-Ag multilayer was reduced by modifying with perfluorodecanethiol.The modified AAO-Ag multilayer was superhydrophobic and the static contact angle reached as high as 168°.X-ray photoelectron spectra(XPS) were used to characterize the chemical structure of the obtained products.The morphologies of AAO-Ag multilayer was similar to microstructure of dragonfly wing surface and presented hierarchical rough structure.The results showed that the co-coupling of the rough structure and low surface free energy induced the superhydrophobic performance of the AAO-Ag multilayer surface.
