Fabrication of robust superhydrophobic surfaces <i>via</i> aerosol-assisted CVD and thermo-triggered healing of superhydrophobicity by recovery of roughness structures

Abstract

Robust superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated <italic>via</italic> aerosol-assisted CVD of epoxy resins and PDMS polymer films. The as-obtained surfaces showed thermo-triggered healing of the superhydrophobicity by recovery of roughness structures.
