Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing of Breathable Superhydrophobic Membranes.

ABSTRACT: Self-cleaning and anti-biofouling are both advantages for lotus-leaf-like superhydrophobic surfaces. Methods for creating superhydrophobicity, including chemical bonding low surface energy molecular fragments and constructing surface morphology with protrusions, micropores, and trapped micro airbags by traditional physical strategies, unfortunately, have encountered challenges. They often involve complex synthesis processes, stubborn chemical accumulation, brutal degradation, or infeasible calculation and imprecise modulation in fabricating hierarchical surface roughness. Here, a scalable method to prepare high-quality, breathable superhydrophobic membranes is proposed by developing a successive roll-to-roll laser manufacturing technique, which offers advantages over conventional fabricati
