Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10207194C1] The self-cleaning material with an artificially formed surface structure has a basic structure (10) and further structures (12) which have a capillary action with capillary openings (14). The capillary action gives a quotient of the capillary activity and the adhesion of \-1. The capillary structure gives a capillary with a mean capillary radius which is smaller than the radius of the smallest water drops in the ambient environment and especially rain drops.
