One‐Step Modification of Superhydrophobic Surfaces by a Mussel‐Inspired Polymer Coating

Abstract

Science MIMIC-king nature: Hydrophilic conversion of superhydrophobic surfaces can be easily achieved through a bioinspired approach to produce an alternating superhydrophobic–hydrophilic surface by using established soft-lithographic techniques, such as micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC). The resulting patterned surface showed high water adhesion properties as well as superhydrophobic properties.
