TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors reported a self-healing superamphiphobic surface on anodized alumina by filling the intrinsic pores with a low-surface energy liquid.

TL;DR: Stable superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles over 170 degrees and sliding angles below 7 degrees were produced by simply coating a particulate silica sol solution of co-hydrolysed TEOS/fluorinated alkyl silane with NH(3).

TL;DR: In this article, a special coating technique was used to create a wettability gradient across the fabric thickness, and the treated fabrics also showed considerably different breakthrough pressures on the two fabric sides.

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust, electrically conductive, superamphiphobic fabric was prepared by vapour-phase polymerisation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) on fabric in the presence of fluorinated decyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (FD-POSS) and a fluorinated alkyl silane (FAS).

TL;DR: In this article, it has been revealed that the non-hydrolyzable functional groups in the organic silanes have a considerable influence on fabric surface wettability, and the washing durability of the super-hydrophobic coating was improved by introducing the third silane containing epoxide group, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), for synthesis.
