AB  - A strategy is proposed here to fabricate microfluidic channels based on 
      underwater superpolymphobic microgrooves with nanoscale rough surface structure 
      on glass surface produced by femtosecond (fs) laser processing. The fs 
      laser-induced micro/nanostructure on glass surface can repel liquid 
      polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) underwater, with the contact angle (CA) of 155.5 +/- 
      2.5 degrees  and CA hysteresis of 2.7 +/- 1.5 degrees  to a liquid PDMS droplet. Such a phenomenon 
      is defined as the underwater "superpolymphobicity". Microchannels as well as 
      microfluidic systems are easily prepared and formed between the underwater 
      superpolymphobic microgroove-textured glass substrate and the cured PDMS layer. 
      Because the tracks of the laser scanning lines are programmable, arbitrary-shaped 
      microchannels and complex microfluidic systems can be potentially designed and 
      prepared through fs laser direct writing technology. The concept of "underwater 
      superpolymphobicity" presented here offers us a new strategy for selectively 
      avoiding the adhesion at the polymer/substrate interface and controlling the 
      shape of cured polymers; none of these applications can find analogues in 
      previously reported superwetting materials.
