Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces have important applications in daily lives as well in various industries. In this study, composites with superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane-based hybrid materials and ceramic nanopowders by electrophoretic deposition. Under different appropriate conditions, such as the amount of a particular component, the composite possessed a three-layered hierarchical surface. The fabricated composite films comprising three-layered hierarchical structures exhibited contact angles greater than 160° and contact angle hystereses as well as sliding angles less than 5°.
