“…In recent work published by Lu and co‐workers, the authors prepared a superhydrophobic polypyrene/fluorinated silica hybrid film (Fig. (A)) . Initially, cyclic voltammetry was used to prepare a polypyrene film and then a chemical vapor deposition technique was employed to coat the film with TEOS.…”

This perspective will highlight the significant advances in the field of fluorinated organically modified silicas occurring since 2014. After a brief introduction, an overview of the synthetic methods employed for obtaining these organic–inorganic hybrid materials with an emphasis on the lesser utilized and new synthetic methods will be given. Furthermore, novel applications beyond the more traditional non‐wetting coatings and surfaces will also be featured. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry

“…At present, the preparation methods of micro-nanostructures are mainly top-down and bottom-up. These methods include lithography [22], the template method [23], etching [24,25], electrochemical deposition [26], spray [27], electrospinning [28], the layer-by-layer assembly method [29], the sol-gel method [30], and the hydrothermal process [31]. Using biological surfaces directly as a template and mimicking their structures into polymers is still a preferred and concise method.…”

Phragmites Communis Leaves with Anisotropy, Superhydrophobicity and Self-Cleaning Effect and Biomimetic Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Replicas

Phragmites communis leaf (PCL) is anisotropic, superhydrophobic and shows a self-cleaning effect. The water contact angle (WCA) values along the vertical and parallel vein directions on PCL are 153° ± 2° and 148° ± 2°, respectively. In contrast, the water sliding angle (WSA) values along the vertical and parallel vein directions for PCL are 12° ± 2° and 7° ± 2°, respectively. The epidermal wax makes the leaves intrinsically hydrophobic. The microstructure of the PCL surface shows sub-millimetre-, micron- and nanometre-scale structures. The sub-millimetre ridge structure is the main reason for the anisotropy of the leaves. The micron-scale papillae structure has a strong hydrophobic enhancement effect, and the nanoscale sheet structure is the key factor in achieving a stable Cassie state, as well as superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning activities. PCL-like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples fabricated by template transfer technology exhibited the sub-millimetre ridge structure and micron-scale papillae from the natural PCL; they also show obvious anisotropy and strong hydrophobicity and have a certain self-cleaning effect. The WCA and WSA values along the vertical and parallel vein directions on PCL are 146° ± 2°, 23° ± 2°, 142° ± 2° and 19° ± 2°, respectively. The preparation of a biomimetic PCL surface has broad application prospects in micro-fluidic control and the non-destructive transmission of liquids.

, 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.
