Abstract

A novel superhydrophobic surface with self-healing abilities in both crushed microstructures and damaged surface chemistry is prepared by creating hierarchical structures on the shape memory polymer, by Z. Cheng, Y. Liu, and co-workers in article number 1503402. The crushed surface microstructure, the damaged surface chemistry and the superhydrophobicity that were destroyed under the external pressure and/or O2 plasma action can be recovered by a simple heating process.
