Robust amphiphobic coatings from bi-functional silica particles on flat substrates

Clear and Durable Epoxy Coatings that Exhibit Dynamic Omniphobicity

“…For example, fluorinated particles can be cast together with a limiting amount of epoxy to yield rough particulate coatings that are superomniphobic. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] On these coatings, oil and water droplets possess high contact angles and quickly roll. However, rough particulate coatings (with rare exceptions [10] ) generally lack mechanical strength and optical clarity.…”

Superhydrophobic and oleophobic surfaces obtained by graft copolymerization of perfluoroalkyl ethyl acrylate onto SBR rubber

“…Zinc oxide [18], titanium dioxide [26] and silica [27] are the most common inorganic materials which were used for this purpose. Fumed silica has been extensively studied in many hybrid polymer systems, such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) [28], poly(urethane) [29], poly(methyl methacrylate) [30], poly(styrene) [31], poly(propylene) [32], poly(2-hydroxyethly methacrylate) [33] and polymers containing fluorine atom [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] which are specifically selected to prepare water/oil repellent surfaces due to their low surface energy. Fluorine atom has low polarizability and strong electronegativity [44,45] and polymers containing fluorine atom on the surface repel both water and oils.…”

Corrosion-resistance, robust and wear-durable highly amphiphobic polymer based composite coating via a simple spraying approach

“…Amphiphobic coatings, which show a high contact angle (CA) for both water and oil, have attracted great attention in recent research owing to their broad application prospect [1][2][3], including self-cleaning surfaces [4], anti-adhesion films [5], stain resistant coatings, and water-oil repellent fabrics [6][7][8][9]. Usually, the amphiphobic coatings can be achieved by one of two general ways: they can be fabricated directly by creating nano/micro two-tier roughness structure or re-entrant geometries and overhang structures on the hydrophobic substrates [10][11][12][13].…”
