“…In addition to this, some methods and materials of soft lithography [14,15,24], colloidal templating [25], electrodeposition [18,[26][27][28], electrospray [29], layer-by-layer deposition [30], electrowetting [31,32], superhydrophobic silicon nanofilaments [33], nanoporous cellulose lauroyl ester [34], and porous polyelectrolyte multilayer [35] have been successfully employed as the holding structures for lubricant infiltration, but they are also plagued with some problems, such as process complexity and large requirement of time and money. Herein, we prepared transparent self-cleaning SLIPS with breath figure patterns (BFPs) formed on the glass substrates based on our previous work regarding BFPs preparation using an enhanced breath figure method (BFM) [36].…”
