Abstract: Wettability is a very important property governed by both the chemical composition and the geometrical structure of solid surfaces. Super-hydrophobic surface[with water contact angle(CA) larger than 150°] have been extensively investigated due to their importance for industrial applications. In the present study, we describe a rather simple method for synthesizing separated alignments of polymer nanopole films, which has super-hydrophobic property with water a contact angle as high as 152.0°. Nanostructures that induce the large fraction of air on the surface cause this unique property.

Key words: Super-hydrophobicity, Aligned polymer, Nanopole
