In nature, water-repellency (superhydrophobicity) is found, besides in plants, in insects and
bird feathers. The booming field of biomimetics allows one to mimic nature to develop …

Inspired by nature, tunable wettability has attracted a lot of attention in both academia and
industry. Various methods of polymer surface tailoring have been studied to control the …

Here, we have reviewed brief ideas of fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces and their
important applications, which were discussed in the concluded national/international …

A simple approach to wafer-scale self-cleaning antireflective hierarchical silicon structures is
demonstrated. By employing the KOH etching and silver catalytic etching, pyramidal …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films have been structured with isolated nanofibrils and
fibril bundles using oxidative plasma treatments with increasing etching ratios. The transition …

We describe how plasma–wall interactions in etching plasmas lead to either random
roughening/nanotexturing of polymeric and silicon surfaces, or formation of organized …

Versatility of plasma processing is demonstrated for the preparation of nanotextured
polycarbonate surfaces with superior wettability properties. Tens of nanometers wide pillar …

The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of cold plasma polymerization as a simple,
fast and versatile technique for deposition of protective hydrophobic and oleophobic …

This manuscript explores the possibility of exploiting polymer morphology (thermal or flow-
induced) as materials inherent template, and domain-selective plasma etching as pattern …

Research into nanostructured thin films of plasma polymers is driven by applications of
these materials in a wide variety of fields. Here, we review work on the preparation of such …
