Effect of Silica Particles Adhered to Dual-level Microstructure on Wetting Characteristics of PP Surfaces Replicated by Microinjection Compression Molding
The present work proposes a flexible replication method for bio-inspired polypropylene (PP) surfaces with microtopographies using microinjection compression molding (
μ
-ICM).A dual-level microstructure appears on the PP surfaces prepared
via
replicating the dual-level microstructure within a template.The microstructure on the PP surfaces exhibits micro ridges and high-aspect-ratio micropillars with conical top.When water is dropped onto the micropillars
the droplet penetrates into the upper part of the gap between the micropillars due to the relatively large gap
resulting in a mid-adhesive superhydrophobicity for the PP surfaces.The silica nanoparticles (SNPs) coated on the template are transferred to the viscous state-dominated melt during its filling in
μ
-ICM
and firmly adhered to the skin of the dual-level microstructure
endowing the surface with submicron-scale or micron-scale roughness and so forming hierarchical microstructures.On the microstructures coated with hydrophilic SNPs
the droplet wets the intermicropillar areas on the surface completely due to high surface free energy
and the prepared surface has a water contact angle (CA) of 161.9° and a roll-off angle of above 90°
exhibiting extremely high adhesion with superhydrophobicity (
i.e
.
petal effect); on the microstructures coated with hydrophobic SNPs
the water is repelled by the hydrophobic SNPs and so the adhesion to the surface is weak
and the prepared surface has a CA of 163.5° and a RA of 3.5°
exhibiting extremely low adhesion with superhydrophobicity (
