Abstract

Conical arrays of polydimethyl siloxane were fabricated by duplicating the morphology of needle tips. The prepared cones have periodic order and regular shape, with the bottom diameter of about 80 μm and height of about 250 μm. Due to their special structure, the conical arrays of polydimethyl siloxane exhibited broadband anti-reflective property. Compared with smooth surface, they could reduce the reflection of incident electromagnetic wave at ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared region. The specular reflectance was lower than 0.75% in the range of 250-2600 nm. The prepared PDMS cones have potential to be applied for antireflective devices. The method was simple for mass production of PDMS cones at low cost.
