Fig. 4.
Stability of the superhydrophobicity of the surface under different strain. (a) and (b) Water droplet with volume of 8 µL sliding down the inclined superhydrophobic surface under strain = 0% and strain = 200%. (c) The water contact angles remain larger than 150° under different strain of the superhydrophobic surface, and the water sliding velocity increases with increasing strain. (d) The hydrophobicity of the surface remains after 1000 cycles of stretching-relaxing, with the strain=200%.
