) water impacting, and high-pressure sandpaper abrasion. Its flexibility is also demonstrated by retention of its superhydrophobicity after repeated bending. Moreover, the material is SHP as prepared. This allows the material to be shape-customizable, simply by preparing molds of specific 3D geometries for sand-casting, which will be useful on surfaces of complex 3D shapes. This SHP material can be used on rigid blood pump surfaces or on flexible tubings of roller pumps.
