A method for producing an abrasion-resistant nanostructure (40) on a surface (5) of a support body (2) is proposed in order to permanently provide the support body (2) with advantageous surface effects. The method can be used, in particular, to permanently anchor nanostructures (40) to a surface (5) in an abrasion-resistant manner. For this purpose, in a first process step A, the nanostructure (40) is first applied to or produced on the surface (5), in particular by growing it. In a subsequent process step B, the nanostructure (40) produced in step A is then permanently and abrasion-resistantly bonded to the surface (5) by means of a separate embedding layer (20). For this purpose, the embedding layer (20) is produced separately from the already produced nanostructure (40) on, in particular on and / or in, the surface (5).The embedding layer (20) only partially covers the nanostructure (40), so that surface properties of the nanostructure (40) can be at least partially preserved. At the same time, the embedding layer (20) anchors the nanostructure (40) to the surface (5), whereby the embedding layer (20) can grow into the support body (2), in particular through the nanostructure (40).
