Abstract

A simple and inexpensive method for forming a PEEK/PTFE superhydrophobic surfaces by controlling the topographical microstructures by adjusting the curing temperature has been proposed. The resulting porous surface, with ribbon-like randomly distributed double-scale structure and the lowest surface energy hydrophobic groups (-CF3) has a water contact angle of 161°.
