Formation of Nanostructure during Replication of a Hierarchical Plant Surface

Plant and animal surfaces have become a model for preparing special synthetic surfaces with low wettability, reflectivity, or antibacterial properties. Processes that lead to the creation of replicas of natural character use two-step imprinting methods. This article describes a technique of syntheti...

description	Plant and animal surfaces have become a model for preparing special synthetic surfaces with low wettability, reflectivity, or antibacterial properties. Processes that lead to the creation of replicas of natural character use two-step imprinting methods. This article describes a technique of synthetic polymer surface preparation by the process of two-stage imprinting. The laboratory-prepared structure copies the original natural pattern at the micrometer and sub-micrometer levels, supplemented by a new substructure.
