## Abstract This paper describes a novel process that is stretchingβcontrolled thermal micromolding, to fabricate bionic superhydrophobic polyethylene films. Lowβdensity polyethylene was thermally pressed in a vacuum oven onto PDMS stamps replicated from lotus leaves. After being cooled and peeled

## Abstract Superhydrophobic surfaces of dynamic stability are crucial for applications in waterβrepellent materials. In this work, a hierarchical structure composed of a dendritic microporous surface with nanostructured porosity is demonstrated that shows robust superhydrophobicity with dynamic st
Via a simple wet chemical etching followed by stearic acid modification, the presence of synergistic binary structures at micro-and nanometer scales and stearic acid bestows superhydrophobic property on steel and aluminum alloy surfaces. The as-prepared surfaces show superhydrophobic not only for pu
