A simple fabrication route to a highly transparent super-hydrophobic surface with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) coated flexible mold.
A super-hydrophobic and highly transparent nanostructured film was fabricated via imprinting and conformally uniform chemical anchoring of poly(dimethylsiloxane) on a controlled nanoscopic dimension.
