Design and Replication of Micro- and Nanotextured Polymer Surfaces: A Height-to-Pitch Criterion to Predict Hydrophobicity Enhancement

Abstract The present study examines how the replication of micro- and nanotextures on polymer surfaces enhances their hydrophobic properties and defines a geometric parameter required to obtain functional surfaces at an industrial scale. Nickel shims were fabricated by lithograph...
