Fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces of cellulose sheets by creating biomimic structures

  • Published:
Chemical Research in Chinese Universities Aims and scope

Abstract

The biodegradable superhydrophobic cellulose sheets were fabricated by simple dissolution, controllable crystallization, coagulation, and Teflon dip-coat. The surface morphology of the superhydrophobic regenerated cellulose sheets is similar to that of the natural lotus leaves consisting of hierarchical micro/nano structures. The prepared cellulose sheets exhibit a remarkable superhydrophobicity and satisfactory long-term chemical stability.
