ANTI-REFLECTIVE TRANSPARENT OLEOPHOBIC SURFACES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a structured surface, includes: providing a transparent substrate; disposing a dewettable film over the substrate; annealing the dewettable film to form a plurality of islands; forming a coating over the plurality of islands; and etching the plurality of islands to form a structured array of surface features in the coating. A structured polymer and/or structured glass, includes: a structured array of surface features, such that the structured array of surface features has at least one dimension in a range of 0.5 nm to 5000 nm.
