Abstract
A method of producing an organic non-wettable superhydrophobic fullerite film is presented. Non-wettable superhydrophobic fullerite films can be easily produced by growing nanofullerites via a sonication coupled crystallization protocol followed by multiple washings to obtain a pellet of nanofullerites. The pellet is aged for at least several weeks to allow for agglomeration into a gel which may then be applied to a substrate as a non-wettable superhydrophobic fullerite film.
