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 …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most widely used nanomaterials in our daily life. In
1972, Fujishima and Honda reported the photo electrolysis of water into H2 and O2 utilizing …

Interfacial materials with special wettability have become a burgeoning research area in
materials science in the past decade. The unique surface properties of materials and …

In this review we focus on recent developments in applications of bio‐inspired special
wettable surfaces. We highlight surface materials that in recent years have shown to be the …

Through evolution, nature has arrived at what is optimal. Inspired by the biomaterials with
special wettability, superhydrophobic materials have been well-investigated and-covered by …

Nature is a school for scientists and engineers. After four and a half billion years of stringent
evolution, some creatures in nature exhibit fascinating surface wettability. Biomimetics …

Wettability is a special character found in nature, including the superhydrophobicity of lotus
leaves, the underwater superoleophobicity of fish scales and the slipperiness of pitcher …

The innate ability of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) thermo-responsive hydrogel to
