Abstract:

Based on the natural template of the bamboo culm(Phyllostachys edulis) with multi-scale structures, a biomimetic superhydrophobic surface(SHS) of bamboo stems was successfully fabricated using a fusion strategy of templating method and hydrophobic modification technique with plant wax. The resulted biomimetic material surface of the prepared bamboo culm exhibits superhydrophobic, low adhesion, and self-cleaning characteristics. The research results indicate that the bioinspired SHS of bamboo culm is determined by the synergistic effect of the hill-like microstructure and plant wax with nanoscale laminar structure. Moreover, the SHS possesses the delayed freezing performance under low temperature conditions.
