Biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces show great potential in oil–water separation, anti-
icing and self-cleaning. However, due to the instability caused by its fragile structure and …

So far, scientists have successfully mimicked superhydrophobicity based on careful
observation and study of such surfaces found in nature. The key outcome is the fact that …

Nature has endowed many of its living systems with functional structures with highly tuned
wettability. Inspired by nature, scientists began to mimic these natural templates and as a …

Over the past decade, much progress has been made in the application of multifunctional
membranes with special wettability for the separation of oil–water mixtures. This progress …

Developing novel superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic oil/water separation
membrane with ultra-high flux and high separation efficiency has important theoretical and …

Recently, the super-wetting materials for separating oil/water emulsions have attracted great
attention. Developing a low-cost and high-efficient filter material that is challenging to …

In this work, by employing chemical etching technique with mixture of hydrochloric and nitric
acids, followed by treatment with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, superhydrophobic aluminum …

Superhydrophobic surfaces with a high contact angle and a low sliding angle are promising
candidates for corrosion resistance. In general, an excellent chemical and mechanical …
