1. Introduction In the last two decades bioinspired surfaces of special wetting properties have attracted considerable attention e.g. 1.2 l.Superhy- drophobicity, accompanied by water repellency, is usually achieved by developing the special hierarchical micrometer and nanome. ter sized structure of the lotus leaf 3] on the surface of interest and applying low surface energy agents I4l. On the basis of these principles, and in relation to the final product application, sev- eral methods have been developed to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces including, for instance, lithographic patterning 15.6 sol du gel 17,8 ayer by layer deposition 19], chemical vapor deposi tion [10], plasma etching 11 land nanoparticle deposition l 12-16). Moreover, green methods were developed using supercritical car bon dioxide for the fabrication of fluoropolymer nanoparticles 17 l which were then used to produce superhydrophobic coatings bic 18.19
