sp 2 hybridized carbons constitute a broad class of solid phases composed primarily of
elemental carbon and can be either synthetic or naturally occurring. Some examples are …

In this review we focus on recent developments in applications of bio‐inspired special
wettable surfaces. We highlight surface materials that in recent years have shown to be the …

Nature is the creation of aesthetic functional systems, in which many natural materials have
vagarious structures. Inspired from nature, such as lotus leaf, butterfly'wings, showing …

It is well known that high optical transparency is one of the most crucial criteria for the
overwhelming majority of optical devices and correlative functions, including smart windows …

We study the nonwettability and transparency from the assembly of fluorosilane modified
silica nanoparticles (F-SiO2 NPs) via one-step spin-coating and dip-coating without any …

High transparency is important to the performance of optical equipment and devices, such
as windows, lenses, solar panels, and safety goggles. As many of them are constantly …

We report a simple and versatile approach to creating a highly transparent
superhydrophobic surface with dual-scale roughness on the nanoscale. 3 …

Antireflective surfaces with superhydrophobic characteristics are of considerable current
interest owing to their potential utility in solving key technological problems …

Transparent liquid repellent coatings with exceptional wear and abrasion resistance are
very demanding to fabricate. The most important reason for this is the fact that majority of the …

In this work, robust superhydrophobic cotton fabrics with ultraviolet (UV) shielding, self-
cleaning, photocatalysis, and oil/water separation were successfully prepared based on …
