In this paper, we present a simple and robust fabrication method for mushroom-shaped microstructures using diverse polymers with various modulus of elasticity. Through the repeated replica molding process, we fabricated the same PDMS mushroom structure negative mold as the prepared silicon master mold. To evaluate the fabricating stability of the fabricated PDMS negative mold, the mushroom-shaped structures were replicated from the mold using six types of polymer resins with different elastic modulus and we measured superhydrophobic properties on the samples. All the fabricated samples exhibited superhydrophobicity, and we proved the structural stability of the proposed replication method through the measured SEM images, contact angles on the samples, and theoretical analysis based on the structural shape.
