Generation and Characterization of Super-Hydrophobic Micro-/Nano-structured Surfaces 211... 

In summary, our results have demonstrated that a colloidal monolayer can be used as a flexible template to create ordered nano-structured arrays. Combining it with other techniques, a series of ordered nano-structured arrays with centimeter size could be easily fabricated on many different substrates. These nano-structured arrays are of surface roughness on the nano- and micro-scales, or similar to the microstructure of lotus leaves. Our results have demonstrated that such micro/nano-structured arrays, not only of insulators and semiconductors but also of metals, display morphology-dependent wettability. Significant enhancement of both hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity can be achieved by fabricating special surface micro/nano-structure on any material. This means that we can also realize tunable and controllable wettability of surface of any material by designing the proper surface structure. From this study, it can thus be expected that the nano-devices based on our nano-structured arrays would be waterproof and self-cleaning, in addition to their special device functions.

In recent years, due to a plethora of potential applications of superhydro-phobicity in daily life, many elforts have been taken to fabricate artificial superhydrophobic surfaces. Depending on the application and material, different methods have been employed to create superhydrophobic smfaces [8], Most of these methods involve either creating a micro/ nano-structme on an inherently hydrophobic material [9,10] or treating a specific micro/nano-structure with a hydrophobic coating [11-14]. For instance, for metallic materials, roughened surfaces have to be coated with low surface energy materials.

It is in the context of these needs that we are exploring the effects of changes in precursor monomer architecture on selectivity to ceramic products. In addition, we have sought to identify the effects of monomer architecture on product purity and micro (nano) structure. In particular, our work has focussed on the development of silicon containing preceramics that give single phase ceramic materials.

Interestingly, it was proven that the fiber network formation in SMGs is a crystallization process, which consists of the nucleation and growth of fibers. On the basis of this finding, the micro/nano structure of fiber networks in several SMGs and their macroscopic properties were successfully manipulated by tuning...
