Abstract:
      Superhydrophobic surfaces were constructed by molding method where high density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) was used as raw material and metallographic sandpaper was used as template. Microcosmic morphology studies showed that the micron scale rough surface of TPV with high fidelity could be prepared by using the metallographic sandpaper as molding template; moreover, the micro plastic deformation in the TPV surface could be observed obviously, leading to the increase of complex surface roughness. Wettability test showed that the series roughness surfaces of TPV prepared by molding with metallographic sandpapers had strong hydrophobicity character; moreover, the contact angles were 150° or so while the rolling angles were less than 10°, which was consistent with the Cassie model. The superhydrophobic TPV surface prepared by molding with W10 type metallographic sandpaper had the best hydrophobicity.
