Supramolecular chirality is involved not only in biological events such as gene
communication, replication, and enzyme catalysis but also in artificial self-assembly systems …

Superwettability is a centuries-old concept that has been rediscovered in past decades,
largely owing to new understanding of the mechanisms of special wetting phenomena in …

Superoleophobicity is a phenomenon where the contact angles of various oil droplets with
low surface tension on a solid surface are larger than 150°. In the past few years, there has …

As a novel member of the two-dimensional nanomaterial family, mono-or few-layer black
phosphorus (BP) with direct bandgap and high charge carrier mobility is promising in many …

Among diverse wetting phenomena in surface science, superamphiphobicity is regarded as
one of the most special super‐antiwetting states. In this paper, a systematic summary is …

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 …

Conspectus Polydopamine (PDA), a black insoluble biopolymer produced by autoxidation of
the catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine (DA), and synthetic eumelanin polymers …

Oil–water separation is critical for the water treatment of oily wastewater or oil-spill
accidents. The oil contamination in water not only induces severe water pollution but also …

Numerous insects have evolved to possess superhydrophobic surfaces, which are thought
to limit bacterial contamination through a self-cleaning action. While investigating the …

In recent years, due to its unparalleled advantages, the biomimetic and bioinspired
synthesis of nanomaterials/nanostructures has drawn increasing interest and attention …
