Developing versatile, scalable, and durable coatings that resist the accretion of matters (liquid, vapor, solid phases) in various operating environments is important to industrial applications, yet has proven challenging. Here, we report a cellular coating imparts liquid-repellence, vapor-imperviousness, solid-shedding capabilities without need for complicated structures fabrication processes. The key lies designing basic cells consisting rigid microshells releasable nanoseeds, which...

Transparent and superamphiphobic coatings that repel both water low‐surface‐tension oil offer energy environmental benefits to building windows, solar cell panels, electronic displays, other optical equipment. Here, we developed a solution consisting of stringed amphiphilic silica nanoparticles (NPs) an sol, which could be spray coated onto variety planar curved substrates in one step. High transparency, water/oil contact angles greater than 150° roll‐off less 10° were demonstrated. The NPs...

Droplet nucleation and growth on superhydrophobic nanoarrays is simulated by employing a multiphase, multicomponent lattice Boltzmann (LB) model. Three typical preferential modes of condensate droplets are observed through LB simulations with various geometrical parameters nanoarrays, which found to influence the wetting properties nanostructured surfaces significantly. The nucleated at top posts (top nucleation) or in upside interpost space (side will generate nonwetting Cassie state, while...
