摘要
A rapid, easy-to-implement, and potentially large-scale production method for fabricating high-aspect-ratio columnar-like nanostructures on poly( dimethylsiloxane) ( PDMS) is demonstrated. Plasma treatment of PDMS under appropriate conditions in SF6 gas, followed by plasma-induced fluorocarbon film deposition, results in PDMS surfaces of fully controlled wetting properties, geometrical characteristics leading to robust superhydrophobic surfaces, and transparency. Potential applications to microfluidic devices are outlined.
