Abstract :
There are many micro stomata and nanowires on the surface of Berberis thunbergii leaf (BTL). Water contact angle (CA) of fresh BTL is 150°, and rolling angle (RA) is above 10°, which shows good super-hydrophobic. In this paper, we introduce a simple method to fabricate super-hydrophobic surface using fresh BTL as template. CA of the as-prepared surface is 155°, and its corresponding RA is only 2°, demonstrating excellent super-hydrophobicity. Additionally, the as-prepared surface shows a certain extent of acid and alkali resistance, which superior to fresh BTL.
