From the viewpoint of green chemistry and environmental chemistry, an important challenge in the field of superhydrophobic materials is to create them with only bio-based molecules. We developed superhydrophobic and chemically stable poly(L-phenylalanine) (PolyPhe) nonwovens by electrospinning. PolyPhe was selected because, due to its very rigid chemical structure, it is one of the toughest and most hydrophobic polymers among polymers composed only of amino acids. The water contact angle on the ...[more]
