Block copolymer poly(styrene-b-dimethylsiloxane) fibers with submicrometer diameters in the range 150-400 nm were produced by electrospinning from solution in tetrahydrofuran and dimethylformamide. Contact angle measurements indicate that the nonwoven fibrous mats are superhydrophobic, with a contact angle of 163 degrees and contact angle hysteresis of 15 degrees. The superhydrophobicity is attributed to the combined effects of surface enrichment in siloxane as revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface roughness of the electrospun mat itself. Additionally, the fibers are shown by transmission electron microscopy to exhibit microphase-separated internal structures. Calorimetric studies confirm the strong segregation between the polystyrene and poly(dimethylsiloxane) blocks.
