A highly stretchable superhydrophobic surface is prepared by Changyu Tang and co‐workers in article number 1602353 , through a facile spray‐coating of nano‐carbon black/polybutadiene elastomeric composite on a rubber substrate. The hierarchical roughness of the resulting composite coating exhibits a self‐adaptive deformation behavior and enables the surface to maintain a superhydrophobic property (water contact angle ≈170° and sliding angle <4°) at a stretching strain of up to 1000%.
