TL;DR: This work provides a simple, cost-effective, and highly efficient method to fabricate a chemically stable and mechanically robust superamphiphobic aluminum surface, which can find important outdoor applications.

TL;DR: The present method is suitable for large-scale industrial fabrication of chemically stable and mechanically robust superhydrophobic surfaces and presents fascinating nonwetting and extremely slippery behaviors.

TL;DR: This paper provides a facile, fluoride-free and efficient method to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces with thermal healing by spin-coating method and Interestingly, through a heating process, cyclic oligomers generating from the partially decomposed PDMS acted as low-surface-energy substance on the damaged rough surfaces, leading to the recovery ofsuperhydrophobicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to fabricate a robust super-hydrophobic coating without pre-modification by pressing ZnSn(OH)6 (ZHS) particles into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) solution, and then curing.

TL;DR: The obtained superhydrophobic alumina surfaces show remarkable mechanical durability even treated by crimping or pressing without impact on the water-repellent performance and show excellent resistivity to ice water, boiling water, high temperature, organic solvent and oil contamination, which could expand their usefulness and efficacy in harsh conditions.
