  Abstract

In this study, we successfully fabricated a super-hydrophobic polymer layer on the surface of slide glass using the solubility difference of a polymer at two different solvents. After dissolving polystyrene (PS) resins in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a good solvent and then adding ethanol(EtOH) as a poor solvent, we were able to fabricate super-hydrophobic surface. We also investigated the effect of EtOH addition, coating methods, solution mixing time and speed, and other alcohols on the surface hydrophobicity. The water contact angle (WCA) of the fabricated surface revealed WCA>150° and the microporous surface structure composed of microparticles with the size less than 5 um.
