Superhydrophobic, Self-Cleaning, and Robust Properties of Oriented Polylactide Imparted by Surface Structuring

Polylactide (PLA), which features desirable biodegradability and easy melt processability, has been recognized as one of the most promising environment-friendly polymer materials. However, its poor hydrophobicity and toughness limit its application in moisture-proof, barrier, and self-cleaning fields. In this work, we report a facile and efficient method capable of mass fabrication of PLA films with excellent comprehensive properties including...
