Superhydrophobic Bio-fibre Surfaces via Tailored Grafting Architecture

• Superhydrophobic bio-fibre surfaces with a micro-nano-binary surface structure have been achieved via the surface-confined grafting of glycidyl methacrylate, using a branched "graft-on-graft'' architecture, followed by post-functionalisation to obtain fluorinated brushes.
