Nanotextured Shrink Wrap Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Argon Plasma Etching

Nanotextured Shrink Wrap Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Argon Plasma Etching

We present a rapid, simple, and scalable approach to achieve superhydrophobic (SH) substrates directly in commodity shrink wrap film utilizing Argon (Ar) plasma. Ar plasma treatment creates a stiff skin layer on the surface of the shrink film. When the film shrinks, the mismatch in stiffness between...
