Degradation properties of recycled plastic causing it less widely
used. By adding extra physical properties, its commercial value and usage
can be increased. In this current work, green self-cleaning surfaces from
recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) were fabricated using sucrose
particles. Water contact angle and sliding angle, self-cleaning properties and
surface morphology were characterized. Furthermore, the surface texture
was also evaluated by conducting a surface roughness test. By creating
porosity onto the rHDPE matrix, the surface exhibits an excellent self�cleaning property with a water contact angle larger than 150°. Surface
morphology reveals the porosity and roughness of the surface. In this
fabricating process, no chemicals were used while rHDPE is selected for the
purpose. Hence, the process is environmentally friendly and low cost for
self-cleaning surface fabrication
