TL;DR: Choi et al. as discussed by the authors presented a Fabrics with Tunable Oleophobicity (FOTO) method for fabric with tunable oophophobia. But their method is not suitable for outdoor applications.

TL;DR: The design rules developed in this work can be applied to select a mesh surface with optimal topography and wetting characteristics to harvest enhanced water fluxes over a wide range of natural convected fog environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple technique to prepare super-hydrophobic and super-oleophobic microtextured surfaces by spray coating a blend of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and the low surface energy molecule 1H,1H,2H, 2H-heptadecafluorodecyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (fluorodeecyl POSS), using an air brush with a pressurized nitrogen stream.

TL;DR: The design chart for a given feature size R shows how the two independent design parameters--surface chemistry as revealed in the equilibrium contact angle and texture spacing embodied in the dimensionless spacing ratio--can be used to develop surfaces with desirably large values of the apparent contact angles and robustness of the metastable composite interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the effective Navier-slip length for flow over a spray-fabricated liquid-repellent surface which supports a composite solid-air-liquid interface or "Cassie-Baxter" state.
