Fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces via self-assembly of organic conjugated small molecules is realized by spray-drying the thiophene derivates organic solutions. Formation of microsized pores and arrayed nanofibers or nanorods on the surfaces is responsible for the superhydrophobicity of the coatings. This technique can be applied for fabrication of large area superhydrophobic surfaces with conjugated molecules on different substrates.
