Super-hydrophobic surface has been prepared onto biodegradable polymer by a combination of transcribing microscopic structure of a water-repellent leaf and a chemical treatment. An aroid leaf has been chosen for the preparation of the super-hydrophobic surface since the leaf has concavity microscopic structure, which is easy to handle for a material use. The microscopic pattern was transcribed onto poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) sheet by using replica method, then it was further treated by soaking in a mixture of acetone/methanol solution. The resultant PCL having the microscopic concavity pattern showed high water contact angle of 148° and also showed antibacterial property for filamentous fungi.
