Abstract

A simple approach has been developed to produce microstructured inorganic surfaces, which can be prepared by a number of procedures. Microstructure can first be created and then converted from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic by simple SAM treatment. These materials can also be created by dropcasting microparticles capped with hydrophobic groups directly onto treated surfaces. The advantage to the first approach is increased surface stability when exposed to various conditions
