Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

Nowadays, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted a lot of interest because of the wide
range of applications in industries. These surfaces can significantly reduce the drag force …

This review gives an overview of recent advances in the potential applications of
superhydrophobic materials. Such properties are characterized by extremely high water …

The custom design of surfaces with special wettability properties has been extensively
studied over the last two decades and can be now obtained using a wide range of materials …

Bioinspired surfaces with special wettability and adhesion have attracted great interest in
both fundamental research and industry applications. Various kinds of special wetting …

The supercooled water droplets in clouds can cause ice to build up on the surfaces of
aircraft and engines when planes are flying at low temperatures. The shape of the ice …

All types of building materials are rapidly colonized by microorganisms, initially through an
invisible and then later a visible biofilm that leads to their biodeterioration. Over centuries …

Nature is the source of human design inspiration. In order to adapt to the environment better,
creatures in nature have formed various morphological structures during billions of years of …

Superhydrophobic and superlipophilic surfaces have been widely used in rail transit,
petroleum equipment, aerospace, and other fields in recent years. Most of these surfaces …

Materials with appropriate surface roughness and low surface energy can form
superhydrophobic surfaces, displaying water contact angles greater than $150^{\circ} …
