Abstract

(Figure Presented) Superhydrophobic surfaces composed of single-crystalline nanowires of an organic semiconductor are demonstrated by model water striders. Model copper water striders with self-assembled crystalline nanowires on their "legs" can nicely "stand" on the surface of water. 1.0 mg of such nanowires could support a 372 mg model strider, indicating the striking water-repellent ability of the model legs (see image). © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
