Abstract

Dry films: An electrospinning process was used to form films with high water contact angles (166.7°) and low sliding-angles (4.3°). The electrospun films exhibit excellent superhydrophobic Cassie-regime stability: The figure shows a nonwetting water droplet, even after 400 Pa of uniaxial loading.
