Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films were designed in a way for accomplishing superhydrophobicity by combining eco-friendly engineering and metal-free catalysis. The resulting CNC films exhibited high contact angles (&gt;150 degrees) and excellent water-stability. The method is versitile and different functional groups were attached to the CNC surface.
