Mechanically robust, chemically inert superhydrophobic charcoal surfaces

Abstract

We report a fast and cost-effective strategy towards the preparation of superhydrophobic composites where a double-sided adhesive tape is paved with charcoal particles. The composites are mechanically robust, and resistant to strong chemical agents.
