“…There is an old saying in China which is as follows: "Lotus unsullied from mud, wash clean without demon". A surface which has self-cleaning properties can clean its surface itself without any external source, while superhydrophobic surfaces provide a self-cleaning function for pollutants due to its low roll-off angle [59,[211][212][213][214]. Briefly, self-cleaning is achieved through the combination of rainwater and a specific tilt angle when there is dust, microorganisms and other stains deposited on the surface of a superhydrophobic coating.…”

Multiscale nano/micro-structured surfaces with superhydrophobicity are abundantly observed in nature such as lotus leaves, rose petals and butterfly wings, where microstructures typically reinforce mechanical stability, while nanostructures predominantly govern wettability. To emulate such hierarchical structures in nature, various methods have been widely applied in the past few decades to the manufacture of multiscale structures which can be applied to functionalities ranging from anti-icing and water–oil separation to self-cleaning. In this review, we highlight recent advances in nano/micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces, with particular focus on non-metallic materials as they are widely used in daily life due to their lightweight, abrasion resistance and ease of processing properties. This review is organized into three sections. First, fabrication methods of multiscale hierarchical structures are introduced with their strengths and weaknesses. Second, four main application areas of anti-icing, water–oil separation, anti-fog and self-cleaning are overviewed by assessing how and why multiscale structures need to be incorporated to carry out their performances. Finally, future directions and challenges for nano/micro-structured surfaces are presented.

“…Superhydrophobic materials have the ability to self-clean with a sliding angle of less than 10° [ 61 , 62 , 63 ]. It was reported that superhydrophobic wood was fabricated by grafting poly(2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate) (PFOEMA) onto wood by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) [ 64 ].…”

Superhydrophobic substances were favored in wood protection. Superhydrophobic treatment of wood is of great significance for improving the service life of wood and expanding its application fields, such as improving dimensional stability, durability, UV stability, and reducing wetting. The superhydrophobic phenomenon is attributed to the interaction of micro/nano hierarchical structure and low surface energy substances of the wood surface. This is the common method for obtaining superhydrophobic wood. The article introduces the common preparation methods of superhydrophobic wood material coatings and their mechanisms. These techniques include lithography, sol–gel methods, graft copolymerization, chemical vapor deposition, etc. The latest research progress of superhydrophobic wood material coatings application at domestic and overseas is reviewed, and the current status of superhydrophobic coating application in wood materials and construction is summarized. Finally, superhydrophobic on wood in the field of applied research is presented, and the development trend in the field of functional improvement of wood is foreseen.

“…In addition, waterborne SHB fabrics have also shown important applications in scald prevention, pressure resistance and heat resistance. [164][165][166] For example, Zhang's research group 165 reported a waterborne SHB fabric for efficient scaldprevention by dip-coating the fabric in a hexadecyl polysiloxane (HD-POS) aqueous suspension. The obtained fabric could efficiently prevent the penetration of hot water and most of the steam, thus avoiding the direct contact of hot water and steam with the rat skin.…”
