Mussel‐Inspired Block Copolymer Lithography for Low Surface Energy Materials of Teflon, Graphene, and Gold

Mussel-inspired interfacial engineering is synergistically integrated with block copolymer (BCP) lithography for the surface nanopatterning of low surface energy substrate materials, including, Teflon, graphene, and gold. The image shows the Teflon nanowires and their excellent superhydrophobicity.
