“…To establish chemical bonds on fiber, a pretreatment process was employed. For example, Xue et al hydrolyzed the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric in an alkaline condition. The NaOH hydrolysis of PET breaks down the ester links leading to the formation of hydroxyl and carboxylic groups.…”

Super‐liquid‐repellent fabrics have attracted considerable interest owing to their fundamental importance and complexity and application potential in many fields. Despite the fact that a significant progress has been made to develop super‐liquid‐repellent fabrics, durability has been the main obstacle to their wide use in practice. In this progress report, the authors summarize the research progress in the developments of durable super‐liquid‐repellent fabrics, especially for the works published since 2006. The report focuses on fabrication strategies to improve the functional durability, evaluation approaches, and the quality level of the existing super‐liquid‐repellent fabrics. Challenges for further development of high quality, super‐liquid‐repellent fabrics in terms of practical application are highlighted.

, as a visiting scholar. Now he is a full professor in LICP financed by "Top Hundred Talents" program of CAS. Till now, he has published more than 130 papers about the interfaces of Materials.Miss Qiuying Wen joined Prof. Guo's biomimetic materials of tribology (BMT) group at University of Hubei in 2015 in pursuing her Ph.D. degree. Her current scientific interests are devoted to designing and fabricating applicable superhydrophobic surfaces by using environmentally friendly materials and studying their corresponding applications. AbstractAs one of the most important parts in the surface and interface science, superhydrophobic surfaces play a significant role in both the fundamental research of functional materials and various applications. Therefore, this research field attracts more and more researchers' attention from all over the world. In the past decades, a large number of biomimetic functional superhydrophobic surfaces have been fabricated inspired from the natural superhydrophobic phenomenon. In this paper, we reviewed the recent advances in the research field of superhydrophobic surfaces, mainly including basic principles, fabrication methods, and applications three aspects. In order to facilitate the comparison, fabrication methods have been divided into three classes at first: coating methods, deposition methods, and the method of direct reproduce (template method). Further, each method is subdivided into several more specific sections such as coatings covering self-assembly coating, grafting coating, electrodeposition, electroless deposition, and so on, according to the theory of the coatings bonding with substrates. For each subsection, the corresponding comments of advantages and partly drawbacks have been summarized. In addition, the peculiar applications of superhydrophobic surfaces, such as waterproof function, antibacterial, antibiofouling, antiscaling, anti-icing, and so on, are also mentioned briefly. Finally, current challenges for this research field are also proposed. The aim of this review is to give a brief and crucial overview of the recent advances in the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces.

Xue et al [36] reported superhydrophobic polyester fabrics obtained through alkali etching, chemical vapor deposition, and ultraviolet light initiated click chemistry. Unfortunately, the component toxic fluorinated materials may cause great harm to the environment.…”

The hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties of materials have important application value in industrial and agricultural production and people's daily life. To study the relationship between the unit width L 0 of the parabolic hydrophobic material and the hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties, the rough surface structure of the parabolic with different widths was prepared by grinding with different SiC sandpapers, and further, to obtain hydrophobic materials through chemical oxidation and chemical etching, and modification with stearic acid (SA). The morphology, surface wetting and anti-fouling properties of the modified materials were characterized by SEM and contact angle measurement. The oil-water separation performance and self-cleaning performance of the materials were explored. The surface of the modified copper sheet forms a rough structure similar to a paraboloid. When ground with 1500 grit SiC sandpaper, it is more conducive to increase the hydrophobicity of the copper sheet surface and increase the contact angle of water droplets on the copper surface. Additionally, the self-cleaning and anti-fouling experiments showed that as L 0 decreases, copper sheets were less able to stick to foreign things such as soil, and the better the self-cleaning and anti-fouling performance was. Based on the oil-water separation experiment of copper mesh, the lower L 0 has a higher oil-water separation efficiency. The results showed that material with parabolic morphology has great self-cleaning, anti-fouling, and oil-water separation performance. The smaller the L 0 was, the larger the contact angle and the better hydrophobic performance and self-cleaning performance were.
