“…To reduce dependence on complicated hierarchical surface structures and further improve the liquid repellency with high contact angles and low roll-off angles, a general strategy is to add micro/nanostructured roughness and then chemically modify it to produce a low-energy surface . For instance, initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) is a facile, low-cost, scalable, and low-energy vapor deposition process that could produce nanoscale fluorinated polymeric films with low surface energy, such as 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl methacrylate (PFDMA), 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate (PFDA), and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl acrylate (PFOA) in which these suspended chemical moieties remain intact . Compared to other surface modification techniques, such as spray coating, , and sol–gel processing, this process without solvent participation is environmentally friendly.…”
