Jafari et al [88] proposed another route towards fabrication of superhydrophobic aluminum based on dual-step processing employing successive plasma treatments in atmospheric pressure. First, an air plasma treatment was applied to aluminum using a commercial plasma jet (PlasmaTreat) to induce initial roughness and, next, a rough Jafari et al [88] proposed another route towards fabrication of superhydrophobic aluminum based on dual-step processing employing successive plasma treatments in atmospheric pressure.…”

Hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity with self-cleaning properties are well-known characteristics of several natural surfaces, such as the leaves of the sacred lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera). To achieve a superhydrophobic state, micro- and nanometer scale topography should be realized on a low surface energy material, or a low surface energy coating should be deposited on top of the micro-nano topography if the material is inherently hydrophilic. Tailoring the surface chemistry and topography to control the wetting properties between extreme wetting states enables a palette of functionalities, such as self-cleaning, antifogging, anti-biofouling etc. A variety of surface topographies have been realized in polymers, ceramics, and metals. Metallic surfaces are particularly important in several engineering applications (e.g., naval, aircrafts, buildings, automobile) and their transformation to superhydrophobic can provide additional functionalities, such as corrosion protection, drag reduction, and anti-icing properties. This review paper focuses on the recent advances on superhydrophobic metals and alloys which can be applicable in real life applications and aims to provide an overview of the most promising methods to achieve sustainable superhydrophobicity.

“…Therefore, we do not discuss methods to create superhydrophobic surfaces other than templating or replication-based means. Thus, the methods of spray coating, − spin coating, − plasma surface treatment, − SAM coating, , dip coating, , electrospinning, or specific case study techniques − remain out of the scope of this review. Many of these methods are not yet practical in an industrial context as they are only achievable when starting them during the initial steps of production .…”

Superhydrophobic materials are found in a suite of scientific and industrial applications, and given their broad potential use, there is great interest in facilitating their mass production. Although numerous methods have been used to produce superhydrophobic materials, only a few are capable of fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces and materials at an industrial scale. Techniques such as injection molding, compression molding, hot embossing, and polymer casting play an important role in the mass production of superhydrophobic polymer surfaces. This technical literature review summarizes recent advances in the polymer molding processes used to fabricate superhydrophobic materials. Here, we review replication methods and the materials that can be used by these approaches. We also evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and discuss the challenges of molding and demolding single-level structures (e.g., microstructures and nanostructures) and multilevel structures (e.g., micro-nanostructures, micromicrostructures, and micromicro-nanostructures), with a focus on superhydrophobic surfaces. We evaluate the relationship between structure geometry and the wettability of a surface, highlighting the effect of structure type and size in achieving the desired wettability. We then offer perspectives, discuss current limitations, and suggest required studies. This review aims to assist researchers in understanding the fundamentals related to the fabrication of patterned surfaces via polymer molding processes and offer avenues for the successful creation of superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces.
