“…One is to construct surface roughness on initially hydrophobic materials by various methods including wax solidification, vapor deposition, plasma etching, photolithography, and so on. The other one is to modify a rough hydrophilic surface with low-surface-energy chemicals or deposit superhydrophobic colloids onto many types of surfaces of substrates such as paper, glass, wood, fiber, metals, and so on. − Inspired by rose petals, lotus leaves, and other organisms in nature, raspberry-like patchy nanoparticles (NPs) are promising candidates for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces because of their hierarchical structure. − Small silica (SS) NPs (70 nm) were covalently grafted onto the big ones (700 nm) to form raspberry-like silica NPs, which were further covered by poly(dimethyl-siloxane) layer to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces . Similarly, raspberry-like polymer particles were produced via grafting small glycidyl-bearing particles (212 nm) onto the big ones (332 nm), leading to the formation of superamphiphobic coatings after further fluorination .…”
