In this letter, we present a very convenient and efficient technique of direct replication of biological structures via a two-step phase-separation micromolding process (PSμM). Our study has demonstrated that PSμM can be used to replicate the surface structure of a lotus leaf. On one hand, the micro/nanostructures of the lotus leaf are well replicated after a two-step PSμM. On the other hand, the replicated artificial lotus leaf shows good superhydrophobicity, similar to that of the natural lotus ...
