Two-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films with wavy patterns were studied in order to investigate reversible and irreversible wetting effects. Pre-strained, surface oxidized layers of PDMS were used to form relieved wavy geometries, on which hydrophobic functionalization was carried out in order to produce irreversible wetting effects. Wavy-patterned PDMS films showed time-dependent reversible wetting effects. The degree of surface wettability could be tuned by the choice of wavy groove geometries. And the groove geometries were controlled via $O_2$ plasma treatment and mechanical pre-straining. The pre-strained, buckled PDMS films were applied to the fabrication of hydrophobic polystyrene nano-patterns using colloidal self-assembly, where the colloids were arrayed in two-dimensional way. The wavy polystyrene films were found to be more hydrophobic relative to flat polystyrene films. The grooving methodology used in this study could be applied to enhancing the hydrophobicity of other types of polymeric thin films, eliminating the need for chemical treatment.

본 연구에서는 나노스케일 박막의 표면주름 형성에 의한 산란반사도 향상을 평가하였다. 실리콘 기판 위에 120 nm 두께의 Poly(methyl metacrylate) 층을 스핀코팅(spin-coating)한 후, 20 nm 의 알루미늄 박막을 증착하여 시편을 제작하였다. 이를 오븐에서 $95^{\circ}C$의 온도로 2 시간 동안 풀림처리하여 표면주름을 형성하였다. 분광광도계로 가시광선 영역의 산란반사도를 측정한 결과 400 nm 파장에서 40%의 증가를 보였으며, 표면주름 위에 100 nm 의 은박막을 추가적으로 증착한 경우 산란반사도가 50%까지 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 산란반사도의 증대를 요구하는 박막형 소자에 표면주름을 활할 수 있음을 제시한다.
