The present invention discloses a super-hydrophobic polystyrene thin film, which is a loose, porous and white thin film, the thin film consists of polystyrene microspheres with the diameter of 1 to 4 Mum, the diameter of a pore is 10 nm to 10 Mum; a contact angle between the thin film and the water is between 150 degrees and 165 degrees, and a rolling angle of the drops on the surface of the thin film is less than 10 degrees. The preparation steps include that: (1) a certain amount of polystyrene particles are weighed and dissolved in the solvent, so as to form the polystyrene solution with the concentration of 1 to 50gL minus 1; (2) 20 percent to 60 percent of the volume of the solution of the ethanol is added in the polystyrene solution and is stirred rapidly; (3) the polystyrene solution which is added with the ethanol is spread on a foundation base by using a flow casting method, and the super-hydrophobic polystyrene thin film is prepared by drying naturally for 8 to 12 hours at the room temperature and the atmospheric environment. The thin film is tasteless and non-toxic, which has very broad application prospect in the liquid non-loss transportation, self-cleaning, water-proofing, and moisture-proofing and other fields. The preparation method has simple operational process, good controllability, low cost, no need of complicated chemical treatments, no need of the expensive equipments and easy industrialization.
