Figure 1. Schematic representation of the fabrication process of nanostructured glass.

Figure 1

(a) Application of a sacrificial layer of SiO2 and reactive ion etching by CF4 plasma treatment. (b) Cross-sectional SEM images of SiO2-coated glass before nanostructuring (left) and CF4 plasma-etched glass with a SiO2 coating before (middle) and after (right) pp-HDMSO coating. Scale bar is 500 nm. (c) Optical images of pristine (left), superhydrophilic (middle), and superhydrophobic (right) glasses. Water was dyed red.
