AB  - In this article, nanostructured superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces were 
      fabricated by a simple (one-step) reproductive method of anodic aluminum oxide 
      (AAO) template extrusion. By tuning the diameter of the AAO template and the 
      pressure to extrude, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) nanofiber surfaces with 
      different nanometer roughness were prepared, and various sliding angles (SAs) of 
      drops on these surfaces were measured. The results of the impact of drops on the 
      nanostructured HDPE surfaces indicated that SAs were very important for the 
      dynamic wettability of superhydrophobic surfaces. The one-step AAO template 
      extrusion method has the advantage of tailoring the SA values on polymeric 
      surfaces. Therefore, we believe it to be a promising industrial basis for 
      manufacturing functional materials in the fields of agriculture, electronics, and 
      optics.
