Template extrusion method The effect is goodProcess is relatively simple Need to obtain cheap, template size and reliable performance Laser and plasma etching method Easy to get high transparency of super hydrophobic LDPE film Equipment expensive High cost Super hydrophobic meter area is limited Superhydrophobic Coatings / / 1. 1 Steam induced phase separation methodUnder certain conditions, when the polymer solution in the process of solvent evaporation, solution thermodynamics condition is not stable, easy happening between polymer chain from gathered themselves together, and then form the gathering phase. When the polymer chain is gathered to a certain extent, the macromolecule aggregation and form the phase separation process, and form a micron - nanoscale rough surface of the structure,then the membrane method is called steam induced phase separation method.Steam induced phase separation has the advantages of wide material sources, simple process, low cost, and the size on the surface preparation is not restricted, but the film strength is not enough good.1. 2 Templates printing methodSuns group[1] uses of lotus leaf as the original template for PDMS concave template, then they use the PDMS convex concave template template. The convex template is replica of a lotus leaf, and it has the same surface structure with lotus leaf, thus it is showing good super hydrophobic and low rolling Angle.The process is similar to print, so we called it template printing method.Template printing meth
