Abstract

By mimicking the hydrophobicity and miniature protrusions of the lotus leaves using a monolayer of non-fluorinated hydrophobic polymer and functionalized nanoparticles, respectively, we have developed a permanent nanocoating to create ultrahydrophobic fibers/textiles with excellent water repellency and self-cleaning ability.
