Wetting control is essential for many applications, such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-
fogging, antibacterial action as well as anti-reflection and friction control. While significant …

Inspired by the self-cleaning and water-repellent properties of plants and animals in the
natural world, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials develop quickly, and are of …

This revised, updated and expanded new edition presents an overview of biomimetics and
biologically inspired structured surfaces. It deals with various examples of biomimetics which …

Superhydrophobic transparent coatings have recently gained significant attention in the
solar energy field due to their ease of preparation, low cost, self-cleaning process, and high …

Coatings with specific surface wetting properties are of interest for anti-fouling, anti-fogging,
anti-icing, self-cleaning, anti-smudge and oil-water separation applications. Many previous …

Owing to the diverse composition, adjustable performance, and synergistic effect among
components, core–shell micro/nanoparticles have been widely applied in the field of …

As the starting material, kaolin is selectively and diversely fabricated to the
superhydrophobic, superoleophobic-superhydrophilic, and superamphiphobic materials …

Surface roughening has long been used to confer materials remarkable wetting properties,
such as super hydrophobicity. When roughness belongs to the microscale, existing models …

Biomimetic superhydrophobic coatings have attracted significant attention from academia
and industry. However, superhydrophobic surfaces become vulnerable and lose water …

Marine biofouling is detrimental to ships and has been a significant issue in the marine
industry for several decades. The development of effective, long-term, and environment …
