Abstract

Nanofur is produced by hot pulling, a highly scalable molding technique for the fabrication of biomimetic surfaces densely covered with nanohair. This nanofur can be used for various biomimetic applications, such as self-healing, air retention, and oil-water separation as demonstrated by H. Hölscher and co-workers in article 1300083. The SEM image shows the fractal surface topography of nanofur fabricated from polycarbonate.
