Abstract
Surfaces that possess both superhydrophobicity and high transparency at the same time recently have attracted extensive attention in outdoor applications. However, fabrication and application of transparent superhydrophobic coating usually face following challenges: the micro-nano hierarchical structure required for superhydrophobicity usually leads to a decrease in the light transmittance due to its light trapping effect; fluorine-containing materials used in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces are potentially harmful to humans and the environment; and the superhydrophobic surface is easily destroyed by external factors. In this work, a transparent superhydrophobic coating was fabricated via an inexpensive and eco-friendly two-step method, that is, dipping glass substrate into the polydimethylsiloxane/SiO2 suspension followed by calcination treatment. The prepared coating showed superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 164° and a sliding angle less than 1.0°. In the visible light region with the wavelength range of 300-900 nm, the maximal transmittance of the superhydrophobic coating was ∼91.4%, which is higher than that of the untreated glass substrate (∼90.9%). Moreover, the coating can maintain superhydrophobicity and high transmittance after sandpaper abrasion, water flow impact, immersion in strong acid/alkaline solution, UV irradiation, and long-term outdoor exposure. We believing that the coating has huge potential value in outdoor applications.

Abstract
Hard yet flexible coatings with multi-functionalities are useful for foldable displays and marine industries but rare. In this study, a highly cross-linked multifunctional hybrid coating with ceramic-like hardness and polymer-like flexibility is reported. The coating is prepared via a step-by-step strategy, where two types of epoxy-oligosiloxane nanoclusters are first synthesized by sol-gel chemistry, and amine-terminated curing agents are used to cross-link them at room temperature. The coating is highly transparent (>92% transmittance), hard (6-7H), and flexible (10 mm bending diameter) because of the unique combination of siloxane nanoclusters and polymer networks. Meanwhile, since the coating contains fouling-resistant telomer and low-surface-tension liquid lubricant polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), it exhibits excellent anti-biofouling and self-cleaning properties. The results indicate that the mechanical and antifouling properties of the coating can be easily tuned and prove that the step-by-step strategy is a promising and universal method. The novel coatings can meet the needs of applications in foldable displays, marine industries, and other fields.

Abstract
Illness as the result of ingesting bacterially contaminated foodstuffs represents a significant annual loss of human quality of life and economic impact globally. Significant research investment has recently been made in developing new materials that can be used to construct food contacting tools and surfaces that might minimize the risk of cross-contamination of bacteria from one food item to another. This is done to mitigate the spread of bacterial contamination and resultant foodborne illness. Internet-based literature search tools such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus were utilized to investigate publishing trends within the last 10 years related to the development of antimicrobial and antifouling surfaces with potential use in food processing applications. Technologies investigated were categorized into four major groups: antimicrobial agent-releasing coatings, contact-based antimicrobial coatings, superhydrophobic antifouling coatings, and repulsion-based antifouling coatings. The advantages for each group and technical challenges remaining before wide-scale implementation were compared. A diverse array of emerging antimicrobial and antifouling technologies were identified, designed to suit a wide range of food contact applications. Although each poses distinct and promising advantages, significant further research investment will likely be required to reliably produce effective materials economically and safely enough to equip large-scale operations such as farms, food processing facilities, and kitchens.

Abstract
The fabrication of amphiphobic materials requires a precise and complicated design, especially for 3D porous materials, and amphiphobic sponges have rarely been investigated. This paper describes the synthesis of a superhydrophobic and oleophobic silicone sponge (SS-F) by simply building hierarchical structures, that is, introducing a secondary structure on the pore walls of a hydrophobic and oleophilic silicone sponge. This simple and efficient synthesis method is based on the thiol-ene click reaction. The uniform structure, composition, and hierarchical structures of SS-F are confirmed. The results of the analyses show that the secondary microstructure improves liquid repellency, while the rough and porous surface design ensures durability. Thus, SS-F exhibits good stability, and the amphiphobicity of the surface could withstand scalpel cutting, cyclic compression, extreme temperatures of 250 and -196 °C for 5 h, and long-term storage in an ambient environment. Both its outer and inner surfaces show superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity, which restrict the ability of the adsorption of liquids, enabling its use in oil and water. The introduction of hierarchical structures paves a way for preparing other 3D porous materials.

Abstract
The inferior acid resistance and high cost of BiVO4 pigments seriously hinder their wide applications in some fields. Inspired by the superhydrophobic properties of some plants and insects in nature, the reversible thermochromic superhydrophobic coatings with self-cleaning performance and environmental stability were successfully designed by combining with the surface roughness of kaolinite/BiVO4 hybrid pigments (Kaol/BiVO4-HP) and the modification with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). When the concentration of HDTMS was 4.58 mmol/L, the yellow superhydrophobic coatings exhibited excellent self-cleaning properties and chemical and environmental stability. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic Kaol/BiVO4-HP coatings exhibited the reversible thermochromic behavior with the change of the external temperatures from room temperature to 270 °C. Interestingly, this facile strategy also can be used to fabricate a series of superhydrophobic clay mineral/BiVO4-HP coatings based on the different clay minerals, and there was no relationship between the superhydrophobic properties of the coatings and the morphologies of clay minerals, which was different from the reported color superhydrophobic coatings prepared with Maya-like blue pigments. Thus, the low-cost and thermochromic superhydrophobic clay mineral/BiVO4-HP coatings presented a promising application in temperature sensors and switches with the excellent weather resistance to record and monitor the temperature changes.

Abstract
The ability to manipulate droplets can be utilized to develop various smart sensors or actuators, endowing them with fascinating applications for drug delivery, detection of target analytes, environmental monitoring, intelligent control, and so on. However, the stimuli-responsive superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic materials for normal water droplets cannot satisfy the requirements from some certain circumstances, i.e., liquid lenses and biosensors (detection of various additives in water/blood droplets). Stimuli-responsive wetting/dewetting behaviors of exceptional droplets are open issues and are attracting much attention from across the world. In this perspective article, the unconventional droplets are divided into three categories: ionic or surfactant additives in water droplets, oil droplets, and bubble droplets. We first introduce several classical wettability models of droplets and some methods to achieve wettability transition. The unusual droplet motion is also introduced in detail. There are four main types of locomotion modes, which are vertical rebound motion, lateral motion, self-propulsion motion, and anisotropic wettability controlled sliding behavior. The driving mechanism for the droplet motion is briefly introduced as well. Some approaches to achieve this manipulation goal, such as light irradiation, electronic, magnetic, acid-base, thermal, and mechanical ways will be taken into consideration. Finally, the current researches on unconventional droplets extending to polymer droplets and liquid metal droplets on the surface of special wettability materials are summarized and the prospect of unconventional droplet research directions in the field of on-demand transport application will be proposed.

Abstract
In order to solve the problem caused by oil spills and organic solvent contamination, novel magnetically inorganic/organic superhydrophobic fabrics are fabricated via a facile method. Cotton fabrics are immersed in a mixture of functionalized Co0.2Mg0.8Fe2O4 (FCMFO) nanoparticles, vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (VPDMS), trimethylolpropane triacrylate, and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone before UV irradiation for 100 s to obtain the multifunctional superhydrophobic fabrics with magnetic property. The coated fabrics show excellent superhydrophobicity, and the water contact angle is 157.1° when the mass ratio of FCMFO nanoparticles to VPDMS is 0.3. These superhydrophobic fabrics have high oil/water separation efficiency (98.7% for dichloromethane/water) and high oil flux (71,506 L·m-2·h-1 for dichloromethane/water). Even after 20 separation cycles, oil/water separation efficiency and oil flux maintain 96.4% and 64,012 L·m-2·h-1, respectively. Furthermore, the magnetic property of these superhydrophobic fabrics could be used in the separation of oil from water. Moreover, the superhydrophobic fabrics possess exceptional self-cleaning performance, mechanical durability, chemical stability, and flame retardancy. These multifunctional superhydrophobic fabrics are potential for wide applications.

Abstract
The severe environmental conditions in winter seasons and/or cold climate regions cause many inconveniences in our routine daily-life, related to blocked road infrastructure, interrupted overhead telecommunication, internet and high-voltage power lines or cancelled flights due to excessive ice and snow accumulation. With the tremendous and nature-inspired development of physical, chemical and engineering sciences in the last few decades, novel strategies for passively combating the atmospheric and condensation icing have been put forward. The primary objective of this review is to reveal comprehensively the major physical mechanisms regulating the ice accretion on solid surfaces and summarize the most important scientific breakthroughs in the field of functional icephobic coatings. Following this framework, the present article introduces the most relevant concepts used to understand the incipiency of ice nuclei at solid surfaces and the pathways of water freezing, considers the criteria that a given material has to meet in order to be labelled as icephobic and clarifies the modus operandi of superhydrophobic (extremely water-repellent) coatings for passive icing protection. Finally, the limitations of existing superhydrophobic/icephobic materials, various possibilities for their unconventional practical applicability in cryobiology and some novel hybrid anti-icing systems are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Although commercialized slow-release fertilizers coated with petrochemical polymers have revolutionarily promoted agricultural production, more research should be devoted to developing superhydrophobic biopolymer coatings with superb slow-release ability from sustainable and ecofriendly biomaterials. To inform the development of the superhydrophobic biopolymer-coated slow-release fertilizers (SBSF), the slow-release mechanism of SBSF needs to be clarified. Here, the SBSF with superior slow-release performance, water tolerance, and good feasibility for large-scale production was self-assembly fabricated using a simple, solvent-free process. The superhydrophobic surfaces of SBSF with uniformly dispersed Fe3O4 superhydrophobic magnetic-sensitive nanoparticles (SMNs) were self-assembly constructed with the spontaneous migration of Fe3O4 SMNs toward the outermost surface of the liquid coating materials ( i.e., pig fat based polyol and polymethylene polyphenylene isocyanate in a mass ratio 1.2:1) in a magnetic field during the reaction-curing process. The results revealed that SBSF showed longer slow-release longevity (more than 100 days) than those of unmodified biopolymer-coated slow-release fertilizers and excellent durable properties under various external environment conditions. The governing slow-release mechanism of SBSF was clarified by directly observing the atmosphere cushion on the superhydrophobic biopolymer coating using the synchrotron radiation-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging technique. Liquid water only contacts the top of the bulges of the solid surface (10.9%), and air pockets are trapped underneath the liquid (89.1%). The atmosphere cushion allows the slow diffusion of water vapor into the internal urea core of SBSF, which can decrease the nutrient release and enhance the slow-release ability. This self-assembly synthesis of SBSF through the magnetic interaction provides a strategy to fabricate not only ecofriendly biobased slow-release fertilizers but also other superhydrophobic materials for various applications.

Abstract
The application of superhydrophobic materials for oil/water separation is receiving increasing attention. Meanwhile, durable superhydrophobic/superoleophilic materials and simple preparation methods are highly desired. Here, inspired by nature, we report a simple method for preparation of durable superhydrophobic glass wool (GW) for highly efficient oil/water separation. The durable and low-cost GW was converted to superhydrophobic simply by polymerization of dopamine followed by chemical vapor deposition of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The polymerization of dopamine generated a lot of polydopamine nanoparticles on the surface of GW microfibers, forming hierachical micro-/nanostructures. The chemical vapor deposition of PDMS efficiently reduced the surface energy. The combination of the hierachical micro-/nanostructure and the PDMS layer successfully made the GW superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of ∼156° and water drops could easily roll off. In addition, the superhydrophobic GW showed high chemical stability in corrosive solutions and oils and high thermal stability. Moreover, the superhydrophobic GW showed high efficiency in selective oil absorption and oil/water separation as well as high recyclability. We believe that the superhydrophobic GW may find application in practical oil/water separation because of its good performance in oil/water separation and high stability under diverse harsh conditions.

Abstract
Bioinspired superhydrophobic coatings are of great interest in academic and industrial areas. However, their real-world applications are hindered by some main bottlenecks, especially the pollutive preparation methods (e.g., organic solvents and fluorinated compounds) and poor mechanical stability. Here, we report for the first time the totally waterborne, nonfluorinated, mechanically robust, and self-healing superhydrophobic coatings. The coatings were fabricated by spray-coating polyurethane (PU) aqueous solution and a hexadecyl polysiloxane-modified SiO2 (SiO2@HD-POS) aqueous suspension onto substrates using PU as the adhesive. The SiO2@HD-POS suspension was synthesized by HCl-catalyzed reactions among hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and SiO2 nanoparticles. Besides high superhydrophobicity, the coatings exhibit exceptional mechanical stability against sandpaper abrasion for 200 cycles at 9.8 kPa and tape-peeling for 200 cycles at 90.5 kPa because of high durability and unique hierarchical macro-/nanostructure of the coating as well as solid lubrication of the SiO2@HD-POS nanoparticles fallen off from the coatings. The coatings also show fast and stable self-healing capability owing to migration of the healing agent (HD-POS) to the damaged surface. Moreover, the coatings exhibit good static and dynamic anti-icing performance in outdoor environment (-15 °C, relative humidity = 54%). The superhydrophobic coatings may be used in various areas because the main bottlenecks have been successfully broken.
