The present invention relates to a polymer developed to possess high aspect ratio, anti- reflectivity and super-hydrophobic properties, in other words multi-functionality and a method of fabricating the polymer by bio-mimicking Canna India seed pod, leaf and petal surfaces. Polymer solar cells with anti-reflective as well as super-hydrophobic surface will not only enhance the efficiency but also durability. Further if these properties are achieved in carbon materials which are electrically conductive, one can explore applications in electrode materials in batteries, high performance fuel cells, super-capacitors and bio-sensors
