Abstract

Nanocarbon superhydrophobic surfaces (NCSSs) with a fractal morphology of the two-tier roughness on a nano- and microscopic scale are created from hierarchical, supramolecular objects, which are readily prepared by molecular assembly of a fullerene derivative bearing long aliphatic chains. The high durability of the fabricated fractal structures is derived from enhanced pi-pi and van der Waals interactions of fullerene and aliphatic chain moieties, respectively.
