We synthesized porous aluminum oxide nanostructures directly on a quartz crystal microresonator and investigated the properties of superhydrophobic surfaces, including the surface wettability, water permeation, and underwater superhydrophobic stability. After increasing the pore diameter to 80 nm (AAO80), a gold film was deposited onto the AAO80 membrane, and the pore entrance size was reduced to 30 nm (AAO30). The surfaces of the AAO80 and AAO30 were made to be hydrophobic through chemical modification by incubation with octadecanethiol (ODT) or octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), which produced three different types of superhydrophobic surfaces on quartz microresonators: OTS-modified AAO80 (OTS-AAO80), ODT-modified AAO30 (ODT-AAO30), and ODT-OTS-modified AAO30 (TS-AAO30). The loading of a water droplet onto a microresonator or the immersion of a resonator into water induced changes in the resonance frequency that corresponded to the water permeation into the nanopores. TS-AAO30 exhibited the best performance, with a low degree of water permeation, and a high stability. These features were attributed to the presence of sealed air pockets and the narrow pore entrance diameter.
