Self-cleaning surfaces are desirable in many engineering applications where low energy consumption, reusability and sustainability are of the biggest concerns. Inspired by the gecko's unique 'dry selfcleaning' hierarchical structures. Here we fabricated artificial Fe₃O₄/PDMS composites that show robust self-cleaning capabilities. The enhanced adhesion performance is attributable to the decrease of PDMS polymerization degree and the load transfer between PDMS matrix and Fe₃O₄ magnetic particles. The self-cleaning surfaces showed up to 24.3% self-cleaning rate with as few as 4 steps. Simulation result indicated that the changing of cross linking between Fe₃O₄ and PDMS is the main reason for the enhanced self-cleaning surfaces. This work reveals an alternative route of making high-performance self-cleaning smart surfaces that are applicable in the textile industry, robotic locomotion/gripping technology, outerspace explorations and tissue engineering.
