PTFE coating was applied for the specimens. Static water contact angle (WCA), adhesion and friction forces of these patterns were examined. All the patterned surfaces exhibited excellent surface properties. For the mushroom patterns, PTFE coated mushroom pattern showed super-hydrophobic property and decreased the adhesion and friction forces. The adhesion and friction decreased with the pitch due to the contact area. The round-top shaped mushroom pattern showed lower adhesion and friction than those of the flat-top shaped. For the hierarchical patterns, hierarchical patterns showed largest WCA and smallest adhesion and friction forces among micro and nano patterns. Further, it was also found that the pitch affects the tribological properties of the patterned surfaces due to the contact area. Keywords: hierarchical pattern, mushroom pattern, hydrophobicity, nanotribology, AFM
