文摘

We present a facile route to prepare bionic superhydrophobic coatings with striking supporting forces byfabricating hierarchical micro-/nanostructures on curved surfaces. The hierarchical structure was synthesizedby decorating silver nanoparticles on a monolayer array of polystyrene (PS) microspheres. The monolayerarray formed on a flat surface was transferred on a curved surface using silver acetate solution, which canthen be converted into silver nanoparticles through thermal decomposition. The fabricated superhydrophobiccoating on a convex tube exhibited a strong water-repellent property and supplied a high supporting forcewhen it was floated on water surface.
