Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic superoleophobic and slippery liquid-infused have drawn keen research interest from the communities engaged in chemical synthesis, interfacial chemistry, surface engineering, bionic manufacturing micro-nano machining. This is due to their great potential applications liquid-proofing, self-cleaning, resistance, anti-icing, water/oil remediation, biomedicine, etc. However, poor robustness durability that notably hinders real-world of surfaces remains Achilles heel. The past few years witnessed rapidly increasing publications address liquid-repellent many breakthroughs been achieved. review provides an overview recent progress made towards robust durable surfaces. First, we discuss wetting solid its generally-adopted characterisation methods, introduce typical Second, focus on various evaluation methods Third, advances design fabrication are reviewed detail. Fourth, present where these employed fields like biology daily life. Finally, possible perspectives By presenting state-of-the-art this significant fast-developing area, believe will inspire multidisciplinary scientific industrial circles develop novel can meet requirements applications.

Oil leakage is a global environmental issue and happens frequently, resulting in waste of oil resources even threatening the safety marine creatures humans. Because unidirectional transportation performance, "oil-diode" Janus membranes have attracted lots attention for oil/water separation. However, hydrophobic side traditional membrane completely hydrophobic, an easy permeation oil, which hampers light recycling. Herein, we provide facile approach to develop with special wettable structure fast refining. The material characteristics surface wettability that generate superimposed efforts are vital fabricate membranes. Interestingly, manufactured exhibit extra-high intrusion pressure up 12 kPa present high permeance about 2993 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 separating stable water-in-oil emulsion containing surfactant separation efficiency 99.6%, thereby showing promising potential recovery

Membrane separation is of great significance due to its unique performance in treating wastewater. However, the simultaneous treatment oily emulsions and other complex pollutants water remains challenging. Herein, we have proposed a simple strategy prepare multifunctional titanium dioxide/silver nanoparticles/polyacrylonitrile (TiO2/AgNPs/PAN) nanofibrous membrane. The experimental results showed that combination hierarchical structure composed PAN nanofibers Ag/TiO2 nanoprotrusions contributed superhydrophilicity superoleophobicity (UOCA = 153.3 ± 2.0°). Further, membrane exhibited rapid gravity-driven permeate flux (>1829.37 83.51 L m-2 h-1) an ultrahigh efficiency (>99.9%) for surfactant-stabilized oil/water emulsions. Moreover, synergistic effect between fibers TiO2/Ag heterojunction, Rhodamine B dye can be removed quickly efficiently (up 97.67% 90 min). More importantly, obtained stability different harsh environments. design superoleophobic nanofiber with high photocatalytic activity has potential practical applications purification

Versatile liquid manipulating surfaces combining patternable and controllable wettability have recently motivated considerable attention owing to their significant advantages in droplet-solid impacting behaviors, microdroplet self-removal, liquid-liquid interface reaction applications. However, developing a facile efficient method fabricate these versatile remains an enormous challenge. In this paper, strategy for the fabrication of with on Polyimide (PI) film based femtosecond laser thermal accumulation engineering is proposed. Because its micro-/nanostructures chemical composition through adjusting local accumulation, PI can be tuned from superhydrophilicity (~ 3.6°) superhydrophobicity 151.6°). Furthermore, three diverse heterogeneous were constructed various applications successfully realized, including water transport, droplet arrays, wells. This work may provide achieving efficiently multifunctional steering surfaces.
