This chapter summarizes key issues in the fields of multifunctional superhydrophobic coatings with an analysis of their tribological properties. In this respect, the authors explore a simple sol-gel process strategy and tribological properties controlled through a reaction of ORMOSIL-based polymers that generate multifunctional minimum free energy structures of micro- to nano-scale siloxane chains. Different compositions and dimensions of solid materials (contact angle = 150° and sliding angle = 10°) can be superhydrophobic fabricated through various deposition methods. The complete waterproof layering has been demonstrated to have excellent cost, scalability, and especially the ability to encapsulate other functional groups. The perspectives have established many significant functionalities with better tribological properties for the next generation of smart multifunctional superhydrophobic coatings.
