title: Titanate nanofunnel brushes: toward functional interfacial applications.
abstract: Titanate nanofunnel brushes were grown on sol-gel derived amorphous TiO(2) thin films, whose shape can be tuned from nanosheets to nanofunnels by changing hydrothermal conditions. A superhydrophobic adhesive surface was achieved by a chemical modification of the brushes.
