Abstract
In this study, a facile and scalable method for synthesizing MoSe2 nanomaterial via a sonication-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation method is proposed. This study shows the successful synthesis of few-layered MoSe2 in various solvents including DI water, ethanol, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), Dimethylformamide (DMF) and Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The exfoliated nanosheets have remarkably different properties than bulk MoSe2 which were studied using Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis spectroscopy to investigate their morphology, functional groups, structure and optical properties, respectively. The mean values of the number of layers from an optical extinction spectrum based on the effect of edge and quantum confinement were also calculated. Moreover, the exfoliated material using this method has potential application in energy storage as demonstrated by the electrochemical performance of the bulk and exfoliated materials.•Successful synthesis of the few-layer MoSe2 from bulk MoSe2 using liquid phase exfoliation method in various solvents•The investigation of the effect of solvent on the number of layers and optical properties of MoSe2.

Abstract
The design of hydrophobic surfaces requires a material which has a low solid surface tension and a simple fabrication process for anchoring and controlling the surface morphology. A generic method for the spontaneous formation of robust instability patterns is proposed through the hydrosilylation of a fluoroalkene bearing dangling chains, Rf = C6F13(CH2)3-, with a soft polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) spin-coated gel polymer (0.8 μm thick) using Karstedt catalyst. These patterns were easily formed by an irreversible swelling reaction due to the attachment of a layer to various substrates. The buckling instability was created by two different approaches for a gel layer bound to a rigid silicon wafer substrate (A) and to a soft nonswelling silicone elastomer foundation (B). The observations of grafted Rf-PMHS films in the swollen state by microscopy revealed two distinct permanent patterns on various substrates: dotlike of wavelength λ = 0.4-0.7 μm (A) or wrinkle of wavelength λ = 4-7 μm (B). The elastic moduli ratios of film/substrate were determined using PeakForce quantitative nanomechanical mapping. The characteristic wavelengths (λ) of the patterns for systems A and B were quantitatively estimated in relation to the thickness of the top layer. A diversity of wrinkle morphologies can be achieved by grafting different side chains on pristine PMHS films. The water contact angle (WCA) hysteresis of fluorinated chain (Rf) was enhanced upon roughening the surfaces, giving highly hydrophobic surface properties for water with static/hysteresis WCAs of 136°/74° in the resulting wrinkle (B) and 119°/41° in the dotlike of lower roughness (A). The hydrophobic properties of grafted films on A with various mixtures of hexyl/fluoroalkyl chains were characterized by static CA: WCA 104-119°, ethylene glycol CA 80-96°, and n-hexadecane CA 17-61°. A very low surface energy of 15 mN/m for Rf-PMHS was found on the smoother dotlike pattern.

Abstract
Piezoelectric nanosensors were prepared with a novel type of dehydrofluorinated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane. With the synergistic effect of the dehydrofluorination reaction and applied high voltage electric field, the piezoelectric and energy storage properties of fibrous membranes attained great improvement. It was found that the simultaneous introduction of conjugated double bonds to the backbone of PVDF which was accompanied with the elimination of HF, resulted in the decrease of its molecular weight, solution viscosity and hydrophobicity. The crystalline phase, diameter, piezoelectric and energy storage properties of electro-spun PVDF nanofiber membranes significantly depend on the degree of HF elimination in dehydrofluorinated PVDF. The dehydrofluorinated PVDF with 5 hours of reaction exhibits the highest discharged energy density (Wrec) and energy storage efficiency (η), but excessive dehydrofluorination reaction is unfavorable to the energy storage properties. In addition, the dehydrofluorinated PVDF fiber membrane-based nanosensor possesses a larger electrical throughput (open circuit voltage of 30 V, which is three time that of the untreated PVDF), indicating that the introduction of double bonds can also improve the piezoelectric properties of PVDF nanofibers. A piezoelectric nanosensor was prepared with a novel type of dehydrofluorinated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane.![]()

Abstract
Any solid surface with homogenous or varying surface energy can spontaneously show variable wettability to liquid droplets with different or identical surface tensions. Here, we studied a glass slide sprayed with a quasi-superamphiphobic coating consisting of a hexane suspension of perfluorosilane-coated nanoparticles. Four areas on the glass slide with a total length of 7.5 cm were precisely tuned via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and droplets with surface tensions of 72.1–33.9 mN m−1 were categorized at a tilting angle of 3°. Then, we fabricated a U-shaped device sprayed with the same coating and used it to sort the droplets more finely by rolling them in the guide groove of the device to measure their total rolling time and distance. We found a correlation between ethanol content/surface tension and rolling time/distance, so we used the same device to estimate the alcoholic strength of Chinese liquors and to predict the surface tension of ethanol aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Superamphiphobic surfaces are self-cleaning against various liquids and dirt particles but they are not resistant to trace organic contaminants, the accumulation of which on surface would cause a decline in the liquid repellency. In this work, superamphiphobic and photocatalytic fabrics are developed that allow the elimination of various organic substances from surface by using photocatalytic decomposition. The fabrics have a contact angle of 163, 156, and 158° to water, hexadecane, and sunflower oil, respectively. They are also demonstrated to be able to decompose methylene blue, oleic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) under UV light. The removal of human body grease or laundry detergent from surface to recover the super-non-wettability was demonstrated through the natural sunlight exposure. The slight damage on superamphiphobicity caused by the photocatalytic activity can be cured with simple heat treatment. In addition, the superamphiphobic fabrics show excellent durability against abrasion and repeated washing. The photocatalytic and heat-curing strategy reported here may bring superamphiphobic fabrics one step closer to practical application in various fields.

Abstract
The utility of omniphobic surfaces stems from their ability to repel a multitude of liquids, possessing a broad range of surface tensions and polarities, by causing them to bead up and either roll or slide off. These surfaces may be self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant, heat-transfer enhancing, stain-resistant or resistant to mineral- or biofouling. The majority of reported omniphobic surfaces use texture, lubricants, and/or grafted monolayers to engender these repellent properties. Unfortunately, these approaches often produce surfaces with deficiencies in long-term stability, durability, scalability, or applicability to a wide range of substrates. To overcome these limitations, we have fabricated an all-solid, substrate-independent, smooth, omniphobic coating composed of a fluorinated polyurethane and fluorodecyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. Liquids of varying surface tension, including water, hexadecane, ethanol, and silicone oil, exhibit low-contact-angle hysteresis (<15°) on these surfaces, allowing liquid droplets to slide off, leaving no residue. Moreover, we demonstrate that these robust surfaces retained their repellent properties more effectively than textured or lubricated omniphobic surfaces after being subjected to mechanical abrasion.

Abstract
We report a facile method for fabricating polymer hierarchical structures, which are the engineered, ratchet-like microscale structures with nanoscale dimples, for the directional movement of droplets. The fabricated polymer hierarchical structures with no surface modifier show hydrophobic, superhydrophobic, or omniphobic characteristics depending on their intrinsic polymer properties. Further treatment with a surface modifier endows the polymer surfaces with superomniphobicity. The fabricated polymer substrates with no surface modifier enable the movement of the water droplet along the designed track at almost no inclination of the substrate.

Abstract
The structural colour of male Hoplia coerulea beetles is notable for changing from blue to green upon contact with water. In fact, reversible changes in both colour and fluorescence are induced in this beetle by various liquids, although the mechanism has never been fully explained. Changes enacted by water are much faster than those by ethanol, in spite of ethanol's more rapid spread across the elytral surface. Moreover, the beetle's photonic structure is enclosed by a thin scale envelope preventing direct contact with the liquid. Here, we note the presence of sodium, potassium and calcium salts in the scale material that mediate the penetration of liquid through putative micropores. The result leads to the novel concept of a "photonic cell": namely, a biocompatible photonic structure that is encased by a permeable envelope which mediates liquid-induced colour changes in that photonic structure. Engineered photonic cells dispersed in culture media could revolutionize the monitoring of cell-metabolism.

Abstract
Birds in the cormorant (Phalacrocoracidae) family dive tens of metres into water to prey on fish while entraining a thin layer of air (a plastron film) within the microstructures of their feathers. In addition, many species within the family spread their wings for long periods of time upon emerging from water. To investigate whether wetting and wing-spreading are related to feather structure, microscopy and photographic studies have previously been used to extract structural parameters for barbs and barbules. In this work, we describe a systematic methodology to characterize the quasi-hierarchical topography of bird feathers that is based on contact angle measurements using a set of polar and non-polar probing liquids. Contact angle measurements on dip-coated feathers of six aquatic bird species (including three from the Phalacrocoracidae family) are used to extract two distinguishing structural parameters, a dimensionless spacing ratio of the barbule (D*) and a characteristic length scale corresponding to the spacing of defect sites. The dimensionless spacing parameter can be used in conjunction with a model for the surface topography to enable us to predict a priori the apparent contact angles of water droplets on feathers as well as the water breakthrough pressure required for the disruption of the plastron on the feather barbules. The predicted values of breakthrough depths in water (1-4 m) are towards the lower end of typical diving depths for the aquatic bird species examined here, and therefore a representative feather is expected to be fully wetted in a typical deep dive. However, thermodynamic surface energy analysis based on a simple one-dimensional cylindrical model of the feathers using parameters extracted from the goniometric analysis reveals that for water droplets on feathers of all six species under consideration, the non-wetting 'Cassie-Baxter' composite state represents the global energy minimum of the system. By contrast, for other wetting liquids, such as alkanes and common oils, the global energy minimum corresponds to a fully wetted or Wenzel state. For diving birds, individual feathers therefore spontaneously dewet once the bird emerges out of water, and the 'wing-spreading' posture might assist in overcoming kinetic barriers associated with pinning of liquid droplets that retard the rate of drying of the wet plumage of diving birds.

Abstract
Gravity-induced sagging can amplify variations in goniometric measurements of the contact angles of sessile drops on super-liquid-repellent surfaces. The very large value of the effective contact angle leads to increased optical noise in the drop profile near the solid-liquid free surface and the progressive failure of simple geometric approximations. We demonstrate a systematic approach to determining the effective contact angle of drops on super-repellent surfaces. We use a perturbation solution of the Bashforth-Adams equation to estimate the contact angles of sessile drops of water, ethylene glycol, and diiodomethane on an omniphobic surface using direct measurements of the maximum drop width and height. The results and analysis can be represented in terms of a dimensionless Bond number that depends on the maximum drop width and the capillary length of the liquid to quantify the extent of gravity-induced sagging. Finally, we illustrate the inherent sensitivity of goniometric contact angle measurement techniques to drop dimensions as the apparent contact angle approaches 180°.

Abstract
Hepta(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-capped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) telechelics with variable lengths of PNIPAAm midblocks were synthesized by the combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and the copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-cycloaddition (i.e., click chemistry). The POSS-capped trithiocarbonate was synthesized and used as the chain transfer agent for the RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide. The organic-inorganic amphiphilic telechelics were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that all the POSS-capped PNIPAAm telechelics exhibited microphase-separated morphologies, in which the POSS terminal groups were self-assembled into the microdomains and dispersed into the continuous PNIPAAm matrices. The POSS nanodomains could behave as the physical cross-linking sites and as a result the physical hydrogels were formed while these POSS-capped PNIPAAm telechelics were subjected to the solubility tests with water. These physical hydrogels possessed well-defined volume phase transition phenomena and displayed rapid reswelling and deswelling thermoresponsive behavior compared to control PNIPAAm hydrogel.
