Regulation of liquid adhesion on functional surfaces has attracted increasing attention due to its significant implications for fundamental research in manipulation and a wide array applications. Inspired by the slippery peristomes Nepenthes pitcher plants, concept with regulatable under external stimuli was proposed demonstrated. This review concentrates advancements regulation these bioinspired surfaces. Initially, we provide concise introduction basic theory design criteria stable Following this, summarize characterization methods influence factors We then categorize smart modes into four key aspects: modulating lubricant's phase, thickness, structure, interactions between lubricant repellent liquid. Additionally, systematically emphasize multibehavioral strategies, such as movement, merging, splitting, bouncing, rotating, along emerging applications surfaces, including pipetting devices, fog collection, microreactors, biochips, nanogenerators. Finally, discuss remaining challenges future perspectives regulating potential
