title: Mussel-inspired, perfluorinated polydopamine for self-cleaning coating on various substrates.
abstract: We designed a perfluorinated dopamine derivative, which, upon oxidative polymerization, formed a structurally rough film of extremely low surface energy on various substrates. The static water contact angles larger than 150° and the low water sliding angles less than 7° confirmed the formation of superhydrophobic, self-cleaning surfaces.
