| الملخص: | In this work, the water-dissolved surface modifier method was introduced to recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) matrix to fabricate green superhydrophobic surfaces. Surface cavities on rHDPE are formed by sodium chloride particles which can be readily rinsed off and reused. Water contact angle, self-cleaning properties, and surface morphology were characterized. By creating porosity onto the rHDPE matrix, the surface exhibits an excellent self-cleaning property with a water contact angle larger than 150°. Surface morphology reveals the porosity and roughness of the surface. In this fabricating process, no chemicals are used while rHDPE is selected for the purpose. Based on the findings, it is proven that the superhydrophobic surface can be fabricated with a simple yet green approach. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
