Abstract
Although superomniphobic surfaces have attracted extensive interest owing to many important applications, successful fabrication of such surfaces still remains a critical challenge. Herein, we present a flexible transparent superomniphobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface with a micropillar array using Si nanowires as the mould. The as-obtained PDMS not only exhibits excellent liquid-repellent performance with a static contact angle of over 150° and sliding angle of less than 6° against a wide range of liquids, but also maintains the super-repellency even under acid/base corrosion, mechanical damage, and unidirectional stretching.
