Superhydrophobic carbon fabric with micro/nanoscaled two-tier roughness was fabricated by decorating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto microsized carbon fibers, using a catalytic chemical vapor deposition and subsequent fluorination surface treatment. The superhydrophobic surfaces are based on the regularly ordered carbon fibers (8-10 mu m in diameter) that are decorated by CNTs with an average size of 20-40 nm. The contact angle of water significantly increases from 148.2 +/- 2.1 degrees to 169.7 +/- 2.2 degrees through the introduction of CNTs. This confirms that the wettability of carbon fabric changes from hydrophobicity to superhydrophobicity due to structural transformation. This finding sheds light on how the two-tier roughness surface induces superhydrophobicity of rough surfaces, and how the presence of CNTs reduces the area fraction of a water droplet in contact with the carbon surface with two-tier roughness.
