Nowadays, scalable manufacturing of superamphiphobic surfaces by a simple and efficient method remains challenging. Herein, we developed a facile and efficient strategy for constructing superamphiphobic surfaces on Cu substrates, including press molding, oxidation, and fluorination modification. The prepared superamphiphobic surface not only has repellency and low viscosity to water, ethylene glycol, and 30% ethanol (surface tension: 33.53 mN• m −1 ) but can also achieve excellent self-cleaning properties through these liquids. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that this superamphiphobic surface had multiple hybrid structures, including microflowers, nanoneedles, and micropillar arrays. Owing to the high chemical stability of the C−F group, the obtained surface also exhibited excellent corrosion resistance. The preparation method of superamphiphobic surfaces with all these advantages does not require complicated equipment and has great advantages in terms of low cost and high efficiency, which not only endows this method with broad application prospects but is also makes it suitable for industrial scalable production.

Superhydrophobic coatings help to reduce the surface contamination of glass and improve its performance. A SiO2 nanoparticles superhydrophobic surface with tunable adhesion is obtained on a glass substrate after modifying with PDMS. With the water contact angle of 155.1 ± 3°, the superhydrophobic surface also shows excellent self-cleaning property, good durability and thermal stability. This method is facile, cost-effective and easy to operate and will expand the potential applications of glass materials in different fields.
