title: Multi-scale structured, superhydrophobic and wide-angle, antireflective coating in the near-infrared region.
abstract: Superhydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces were produced with simultaneous wide-angle optical transmittance in the near-infrared region and antireflection properties from combination of multi-scale surface topology based on silica nanoparticles, index grading and interference.
