Pattern Transfer and Characterization of Biomimetic Micro-Structured Surfaces for Hydrophobic and Icephobic Applications

Using both artificial and natural templates, biomimetic micro-structures are fabricated on conventional coating materials (epoxy and silicone elastomers) to mimic both artificial and natural templates through effective pattern transfer processes. The pattern transfer processes use a soft-polymer neg...
