structure to implement anti-wetting, self-cleaning, [5][6][7][8][9][10] anti-freezing, anti-fogging, [11] anti-microbial, [12][13][14] anti-thrombogenic, [15][16][17] corrosion resistant, [18][19][20][21][22][23] and droplet manipulating [9,[24][25][26][27][28][29] materials. Such functional materials are used as breathable wearables for protection from chemicals and oil spills, [30] aviation to prevent large amounts of adherent ice, [29] oil pipelines to resist corrosion, cultural relics restoration, [31] separation membranes and janus membranes for advanced oilwater separation, [39,40] healthcare devices and medical implants to prevent infection, [41] and self-cleaning of glass materials such as solar cells and mobile devices.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
