Biomimetics: Bioinspired Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Graphene Films by Two‐Beam Laser Interference (Adv. Funct. Mater. 29/2014)

Inspired from butterfly wings that feature brilliant structural color and unique dewetting properties, micro-nanostructured graphene surfaces with superhydrophobicity and iridescence are fabricated on page 4595 by Y.-L. Zhang, H.-B. Sun, and co-workers using a two-beam laser interference treatment of graphene oxide films. As a mask-free, chemical-free, highly efficient and cost-effective method, two-beam laser interference treatment processing of GO may open up a new way to biomimetic graphene surfaces, and thus hold great promise for the development of novel graphenebased microdevices.
