TL;DR: Inspired by the superhydrophobic lotus surface in nature, special wettability has attracted a lot of interest and attention in both academia and industry as discussed by the authors, and the strategies for constructing fabric surfaces with an anti-wetting property are categorized and discussed based on the morphology of particles coated on the textile fibre.

TL;DR: InspInspired by the surface geometry and composition of the lotus leaf with its self-cleaning behavior, a robust superhydrophobic TiO2@fabric was further constructed by fluoroalkylsilane modification as a versatile platform for UV shielding, selfcleaning and oil-water separation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic summary has been generated to cover the characterization of surface wettability, the construction techniques, and selected functional applications of superamphiphobicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a translucent super-hydrophobic coating was fabricated by a simple spray-coating technique using fluorine-free and easily available materials, viz, the hybrids of PDMS and PMMA in THF solution, without any pre/post-treatment.

TL;DR: Inspired by the hierarchical structure of the mastoid on the micrometer and nanometer scale and the waxy crystals on natural lotus surfaces, a facile one-step hydrothermal strategy is developed to coat flower-like hierarchical TiO2 micro/nanoparticles onto cotton fabric substrates (TiO2@Cotton) as mentioned in this paper.
