Abstract
In this article, magnetorheological colloid was adopted to coat a stainless steel substrate, which was cured under magnetic field to form magnetic roughness surface. Superhydrophobicity had been verified in the experiments, and the influential factors on the hydrophobic performance had been explored. A regular sawtooth structure model was proposed to relate the hydrophobicity with the formed surface microstructure. With the self-cleaning and bonding strength testing, the magnetic roughness surface is promising to keep sustainable superhydrophobicity in the self-cleaning or drag reduction applications.
