• , and 850 μm, respectively. The spacing between the ribs was 180 µm. To investigate drag reduction efficiency on the surfaces with superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, and low adhesion described earlier, Jung and Bhushan [21] used nano-, micro-, and hierarchical structures [12][13]. Microstructures were

• ). Specimens with microstructures were immediately transferred into a vacuum chamber at 750 mTorr (100 Pa) pressure for 10 seconds to remove trapped air and to increase the resin infiltration through the structures. After hardening at room temperature (24 h at 22 °C), the positive replica was separated from

• rapid cooling of the specimen to 5 °C. Then the specimens were stored for seven days at 21 °C in a desiccator. The fast cooling of the wax prevents the formation of nanostructure roughness. Figure 5 shows the SEM micrographs of nanostructure on flat replica, microstructures, and hierarchical structure
