Abstract
Stone-built cultural heritage faces threats from natural forces and anthropogenic pollutants, including local climate, acid rain, and outdoor conditions like temperature fluctuations and wind exposure, all of which impact their structural integrity and lead to their degradation. The development of a water-based, environmentally-friendly protective coatings that meet a combination of requirements posed by the diversity of the substrates, different environmental conditions, and structures with complex geometries remains a formidable challenge, given the numerous obstacles faced by current conservation strategies. Here we report the structural, electrical, and mechanical characterization, along with performance testing, of a nanostructured hydrophilic and self-healing hybrid coating based on hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals and polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM), formed in-situ on Greek marble through a simple spray layer-by-layer surface functionalization technique. The polyelectrolyte-hydroxyapatite multilayer (PHM) structure resembled the design of naturally forming trabecular bone, attained at a short procedural time. It exhibited chemical affinity, aesthetical compatibility and resistance to weathering while offering reversibility. The proposed method is able to generate micron-sized coatings with controlled properties, such as adhesion and self-healing, leading to less weathered surfaces. Our results show that the PHM is a highly effective protective material that can be applied for stone protection and other similar applications.

Abstract
Adhesion of liquid foods on their packaging materials has caused significant food wastes and environment pollution, which has attracted great attention. Food grade superhydrophobic coatings are very promising to solve the issue but suffer from low mechanical stability and complex preparation methods. Herein, a food grade superhydrophobic coating for anti-adhesion of liquid foods was prepared by combining edible paraffin wax, polydimethylsiloxane-modified attapulgite natural nanorods and a food grade silicone adhesive. The concentration of polydimethylsiloxane-modified attapulgite, ultrasonication time and the volume ratio of the paraffin wax/attapulgite suspension to the silicone adhesive solution have great influences on wettability and morphology of the coatings. The coatings exhibit good static and dynamic superhydrophobicity due to their hierarchical micro-/nanostructure and low surface energy of the polydimethylsiloxane-modified attapulgite and paraffin wax. Moreover, the coatings exhibit good mechanical and chemical stability. The coatings are also highly repellent towards various liquid foods including the hot ones. Furthermore, the coatings are applicable onto various frequently used flexible and hard food packing materials including polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, aluminium alloy and paper, etc. Thus, the superhydrophobic coatings have great application potential in the food packing industry for anti-adhesion of liquid foods.

Abstract
In harsh environments, it is crucial to design personal protective materials that possess both puncture/cut resistance and chemical resistance. In order to fulfill these requirements, this study introduces an innovative approach that combines hydrophobically modified rigid nanoparticles with thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers. These materials are then laminated with high-performance aramid fabrics through a scraping process, resulting in a multifunctional composite with puncture/cut resistance, superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning properties, and acid/alkali resistance. The quasi-static puncture tests conducted reveal the remarkable performance of the composite. The maximum spike puncture resistance reaches 267.62 N, which is 17.14 times higher than that of the pure fabric (15.61 N). Similarly, the maximum knife puncture resistance reaches 115.02 N, exhibiting a 5.01 times increase compared to that of the pure aramid fabric (22.97 N). Furthermore, the results obtained from the yarn pull-out, fabric burst strength, and tearing experiments demonstrate that the incorporation of rigid nanoparticles significantly enhances the friction between the yarns, enabling a greater number of yarns to participate in the dissipation of impact energy. As a result, the puncture resistance of the fabric is greatly improved. Significantly, the composite exhibits sustained superhydrophobicity even after exposure to harsh chemicals such as concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide as well as undergoing cyclic mechanical wear. These findings highlight the composite's exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Overall, this study offers insights and methods for the development of multifunctional flexible puncture-resistant equipment for individuals.

Abstract
It is well known that superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) possess self-cleaning ability, either by impacting or rolling water droplets or by self-propelled jumping condensate. However, contaminants that are present in the air are various. Is it possible that these contaminants can all be removed from SHSs by jumping condensate? In this study, hydrophilic SiO2 micro- or nanoparticles with diameters larger than, comparable to, and smaller than the width of the nanogaps of the SHS were first filled in the nanogaps or suspended on the nanostructures with the help of ethanol, and the resulting SHS was exposed to condensing water vapor. Direct observation through microscopy showed that jumping condensation was still obvious on the SHS that were capped or filled with micro- or nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging demonstrated that following jumping condensation, particles that possessed diameters significantly smaller or larger than the width of the nanogaps were both removed from the SHS. However, most particles possessing diameters comparable to the width of the nanogaps remained on the SHS. This confirms for the first time that not all contaminants or dust can be removed from an SHS by self-propelled jumping condensate. Furthermore, the study also simply demonstrates that vapor condensation occurs within the nanogaps of the SHS. This study is helpful in further understanding the mechanism of the self-cleaning caused by jumping condensate and exploring the initial formation of condensate droplets on the SHS.

Abstract
Superhydrophilic–superhydrophobic patterned surfaces constitute a branch of surface chemistry involving the two extreme states of superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity combined on the same surface in precise patterns. Such surfaces have many advantages, including controllable wettability, enrichment ability, accessibility, and the ability to manipulate and pattern water droplets, and they offer new functionalities and possibilities for a wide variety of emerging applications, such as microarrays, biomedical assays, microfluidics, and environmental protection. This review presents the basic theory, simplified fabrication, and emerging applications of superhydrophilic–superhydrophobic patterned surfaces. First, the fundamental theories of wettability that explain the spreading of a droplet on a solid surface are described. Then, the fabrication methods for preparing superhydrophilic–superhydrophobic patterned surfaces are introduced, and the emerging applications of such surfaces that are currently being explored are highlighted. Finally, the remaining challenges of constructing such surfaces and future applications that would benefit from their use are discussed.

Abstract
Supraparticles (SPs) are agglomerates of smaller particles, which show promising applications in catalysis, sensing, and so forth. Preparation of SPs with controlled sizes, components, and structures in an efficient, scalable, and environmentally friendly way has become an urgent demand for the development of SPs. Herein, a method to fabricate SPs based on the Leidenfrost phenomenon is described. By dropping a nano-/microparticle dispersion on a metal plate at the Leidenfrost temperature (TLF) or higher, the solvent evaporates quickly, and SPs can be formed within 1 min. To understand the influence of various factors on the properties of SPs, and also to optimize the fabrication of SPs, the effects of metal surface roughness and primary particle concentration on TLF were carefully observed. Plates with a higher roughness as well as a higher primary particle concentration could trigger a lower TLF. Combining the regulation of composition and volume of the droplets, SPs with different sizes, compositions, and structures were precisely fabricated. Furthermore, highly porous titanium dioxide (TiO2) SPs with enhanced photocatalytic performance were fabricated via this method, showing the merits of the method in practical applications. This simple, efficient, and green method provides a new approach for controlled and large-scale fabrication of SPs with various functions.

Abstract
Superamphiphobic surfaces progress rapidly but suffer from the issues of low repellency to hot liquids, complicated and nonaqueous preparation methods, and low durability. Here, a simple waterborne approach is developed to fabricate robust superamphiphobic fabrics with excellent hot liquid repellency and hot water vapor resistance. First, a perfluorodecyl polysiloxane (FD-POS) aqueous suspension was prepared by hydrolytic cocondensation of (3-glycidyloxy propyl)trimethoxysilane and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane with SiO2 particles. Then, the superamphiphobic fabrics were fabricated by dipping polyester fabrics in the suspension, which were then cured. The fabrics show excellent superamphiphobicity owing to the combination of the hierarchical micro-/nanostructure and FD-POS with very low surface energy. The superamphiphobic fabrics feature excellent hot liquid repellency even for a large volume of 130.0 °C soybean oil and condensed small droplets from ∼90.0 °C water vapor. This is attributed to its high superamphiphobicity, excellent hot water vapor resistance, and outstanding thermal durability. In addition, the superamphiphobic fabrics exhibit high mechanical and chemical durability against washing, abrasion, and immersion in corrosive or organic liquids. Thus, hot liquid repellent superamphiphobic fabrics may find applications in various fields such as antiadhesion of various hot liquids and in efficiently preventing scalding.

Abstract
Point-of-care (POC) testing for nucleic acid that combines pretreatment and molecular diagnosis is crucial in analyzing complex samples such as those encountered in clinical diagnosis. Herein, we developed a centrifugal microfluidic platform, which can achieve a series of functions including separating serum and adsorbing, washing, eluting, and detecting DNA. We combined multiple signal enhancement systems including recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), T7 transcription technology, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) technology to yield an ultrabright signal, which can avoid false-negative results. As an application, hepatitis B virus (HBV), a virus that causes global public health problems, was successfully detected and genotyped from whole blood on the automated centrifugal microfluidic platform. Compared to the traditional diagnosis process, the POC platform largely decreased the consumption of time from 3 to 1 h and the consumption of professional labor from three persons to only one. The automated centrifugal microfluidic platform integrated pretreatment and molecular diagnosis will play an essential role in clinical detection.

Abstract
The application of magnesium alloys is seriously limited by their poor environmental adaptability. In this work, we report a robust superamphiphobic coating, which endows magnesium alloys with extraordinary environmental adaptability. The coating was fabricated on magnesium alloys by a facile, cost-effective, and scalable method, one-step particle-free spraying. The as-treated magnesium alloys show excellent superamphiphobicity with the static contact angles (CAs) of water, ethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, and cyclohexanol droplets of 157.5°, 155.1°, 151.7°, and 151.3°, respectively. These samples also display small dynamic CAs (0° for water and 10° for ethylene glycol) and water super-repellency, which endow magnesium surfaces with droplet impact resistance, self-cleaning, and oil-resistance functions. The simulating environmental-adaptability tests demonstrate that the as-treated magnesium alloys can remain superamphiphobic under various mechanical, chemical, and physical damages including sand impact (⩾10 cycles), water impact (v = 4.5 m·s-1, 2 impacts·s-1, 20 h), abrasion (1.0 kPa, 50 cycles), strong acid/alkaline solution (pH = 1-14), organic solvents immersion (ethylene glycol, n-hexane, ≥48 h), high temperature (200 °C, 72 h), and ultraviolet irradiation (λ = 254 nm, 672 h). The natural environmental-adaptability tests in the acidic industrial atmosphere for 40 days further confirm the robustness of the as-treated magnesium alloys under harsh environments. This work not only provides a promising method for industrially fabricating environmental-adaptable coatings on metallic materials but also paves the way for the much wider applications of magnesium alloys.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces hold great prospects for extremely diverse applications owing to their water repellence property. The essential feature of superhydrophobicity is micro-/nano-scopic roughness to reserve a large portion of air under a liquid drop. However, the vulnerability of the delicate surface textures significantly impedes the practical applications of superhydrophobic surfaces. Robust superhydrophobicity is a must to meet the rigorous industrial requirements and standards for commercial products. In recent years, major advancements have been made in elucidating the mechanisms of wetting transitions, design strategies and fabrication techniques of superhydrophobicity. This review will first introduce the mechanisms of wetting transitions, including the thermodynamic stability of the Cassie state and its breakdown conditions. Then we highlight the development, current status and future prospects of robust superhydrophobicity, including characterization, design strategies and fabrication techniques. In particular, design strategies, which are classified into passive resistance and active regeneration for the first time, are proposed and discussed extensively.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Because they have self-similar low-surface-energy microstructures throughout the whole material block, fabricating superhydrophobic monoliths has been currently a promising remedy for the mechanical robustness of non-wetting properties. Noticeably, porous materials have microstructured interfaces throughout the complete volume, and silanization can make surfaces low-surface-energy. Therefore, the porous structure and surface silane-treatment can be combined to render hydrophilic inorganics into mechanically durable superhydrophobic monoliths. EXPERIMENTS Superhydrophobic diatomaceous earth pellets were produced by thermal-sintering, followed by a silanization process with octyltriethoxysilane. The durability of superhydrophobicity was evaluated by changes in wetting properties, surface morphology, and chemistry after a systematic abrasion sliding test. FINDINGS The intrinsic porosity of diatomite facilitated surface silanization throughout the whole sintered pellet, thus producing the water-repelling monolith. The abrasion sliding converted multimodal porosity of the volume to hierarchical roughness of the surface comprised of silanized particles, thereby attaining superhydrophobic properties of high contact angles over 150° and sliding angles below 20°. The tribological properties revealed useful information about the superhydrophobicity duration of the non-wetting monolith against friction. The result enables the application of porous structures in the fabrication of the anti-abrasion superhydrophobic materials even though they are originally hydrophilic.

Abstract
The introduction of the self-healing function into superhydrophobic surfaces has recently raised increasing attention because it can renew the feature of the surface iteratively to a large extent to extend the service life span of the surface in practical applications. However, it still faces a great challenge on how to achieve this unique surface with a tunable self-healing function via an easy and effective way. Here, we propose a general, yet easily implemented strategy to endow a diversity of commercial substrates with self-healable superhydrophobic surfaces mainly relying on the collective use of the polydopamine (PDA) chemistry with a hydrophobic silane-octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODTMS). Upon applying ultrasonication for 30 min to an alkaline aqueous solution comprising dopamine hydrochloride (DA) and ODTMS, ODTMS disperses into the aqueous phase as microdroplets, while DA polymerizes into PDA exclusively onto the micro-sized oil droplets, forming capsules with nanoroughness. In the presence of substrates, PDA also anchors these composite capsules onto substrates, resulting in hierarchical surfaces. ODTMS is detected abundantly on the hierarchical surfaces, leading to superhydrophobic surfaces. Remarkably, this superhydrophobicity is self-restorable at room temperature (e.g., days) once it is deteriorated by the air plasma or extremely acid/alkali treatment, and this self-restoration can be significantly accelerated via the heating (2 h) or rubbing (5 min) treatment. Generally, heating and rubbing are the valid ways to induce self-healing, which is speculated to accelerate the migration of hidden ODTMS from the capsules to the surfaces because of the minimization of the global surface-free energy. Benefiting from the self-healing superhydrophobicity, we devise oil/water separation using various surface-modified commercial fabrics, which exhibit a prolonged life span in applications and may further facilitate other usage in environmental remediation and water purification.

Abstract
Re-entrant geometries can effectively trap air pockets beneath coating surfaces, prevent the penetration of low surface tension organic liquids, and achieve superamphiphobic performance. However, the creation of re-entrant geometries through particle-based spray coating remains a challenge. In the past decade, various studies have focused on the preparation of superamphiphobic coatings using ultrafine nanoparticles (10-15 nm) using conventional spray-coating methods. In this work, we aim to fabricate a spray-coated superamphiphobic surface using large particles with a hierarchical structure. The study systematically investigated the wetting behaviors of liquids with different topographies obtained using large particles (i.e., smooth, micro, nano, and micro/nanostructures) by different coating methods. The findings suggested that compared with the typical colloid template method, the surface obtained using the spray-coating method showed much greater roughness, which greatly enhanced the oleophobicity of the coating. Furthermore, only hierarchically monodisperse hollow SiO2 spheres (MDH-SiO2) showed excellent superamphiphobicity, which was independent of the hollow sphere size. While maintaining the coating roughness, by applying solid C@SiO2 as a reference sample, the important role of the hollow structure of MDH-SiO2 at the solid-liquid-air interface was confirmed. Nanosphere-surrounded hollow structures were shown to serve as a re-entrant type structure, preventing the imbibition of the liquid, finally leading to a stable Cassie state. This design strategy may provide useful guidelines for the fabrication of large particle-based spray-coated superamphiphobic surfaces.

Abstract
The single-use of large volumes of paper has become a serious issue which is depleting our resources and damaging the environment. It is of great significance and challenging to adopt simple, reasonable and practical methods to prepare functional recyclable paper. In this article, inspired by pleochromatic creatures and plant leaves' special wettability, a series of photochromic amphiphobic recycled paper (PAR i ) products was successfully prepared by adding gourd-like modified tungsten trioxide (MTT) to waste paper pulp. The results show that PAR2-7 has excellent lyophobic performance and amazing photochromic properties. It is worth noting that PAR7 has an impressive amphiphobic behavior, and its surface water contact angle (WCA) and oil contact angle (OCA) are 146 ± 1° and 137 ± 1°, respectively. It can withstand continuous ultraviolet light irradiation for 60 h, indicating excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Most importantly, the reversible photochromic properties of PAR7 make it possible to write repeatedly on the surface by using ultraviolet light. In short, the performance of the prepared PAR is stable and superior, which can not only alleviate paper waste, but also means it has great potential in the fields of decoration, packaging, and banknote anti-counterfeiting technology.

Abstract
Solid surfaces with unique superhydrophobic and superoleophobic wettability in air have thus far shown incomparable applications in various fields. However, existing superoleophobic surfaces are always limited by their sophisticated fabrication strategies. Moreover, surface durability also restricts their further application since the well-designed structures and low-surface-energy chemical components are very susceptible to chemical and physical damage. In this study, we report the exploitation of a durable superhydrophobic and superoleophobic spray and dip coating, which is successfully fabricated by employing 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and fluoroalkyl silane to modify two sizes of SiO2 particles. The wettability of the developed surface can be tuned by adjusting the mass ratio of the particles due to the change in hierarchical structure. On account of its super-repellence and independence from the substrate, the coating can be coated onto various hard and soft substrates. The as-prepared surfaces exhibit superphobicity to both water and organic fluids with low surface tension, and these liquid droplets can easily roll and bounce on the coated surface, leaving no residues. Furthermore, the coating shows positive antifouling and self-cleaning performances when contaminated or immersed in different liquids. Importantly, the coating is also durable, withstanding harsh environments, such as exposing the coated surface in acid and alkali solution or to high temperatures for a long time, without obviously altering its superamphiphobicity due to the high adhesiveness of poly(vinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene) and stable re-entrant-like structure. Its merits of a straightforward fabrication approach and multifunctionality may make the coating suitable for widespread practical applications.
