Chemically reactive polymeric multilayer coatings for tailoring durable liquid wettabilities

Abstract

Various bio inspired extremes of liquid wettabilities including superhydrophobicity underwater superoleophobicity superoleophilicity and so on are of enormous potential for diverse applications including oiltransportation oil water separation fabrication of robotic devices anti bio fouling coatings microfluidics and so forth In the past decades such liquid wettabilities have been designed following various top down and bottomup approaches The appropriate co optimization of hierarchic...
