摘要 | Bionic self-cleaning surfaces with well-ordered polymer nano-fibers are firstly fabricated by disturbing crystallization during one-step coating-curing process. Orderly thin (100 nm) and long (5-10 mu m) polymer nano-fibers with a certain direction are fabricated by external macroscopic force (F-blow) interference introduced by H-2 gas flow, leading to superior superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 170 degrees and a water sliding angle (WSA) of 0-1 degrees. In contrast, nano-wires and nano-bridges (1-8 mu m in length/10-80 nm in width) are generated by "spinning/stretching" under internal microscopic force (F-T) interference due to significant temperature difference in the non-uniform cooling medium. The findings provide a novel theoretical basis for controllable polymer "bionic lotus" surface and will further promote practical application in many engineering fields such as drag-reduction and anti-icing. |
