A Switchable Cross‐Species Liquid Repellent Surface
Advanced Materials, 2016 A switchable cross-species liquid-repellent surface is developed that can rapidly switch between two distinct liquid-repellent modes: i) the superhydrophobic mode, modeled after lotus leaves, and ii) the slippery mode, modeled after the pitcher-plant peristome.

Re‐Entrant Microstructures for Robust Liquid Repellent Surfaces
Advanced Materials Technologies, 2023 AbstractSuperhydrophobic surfaces have many interesting applications because of their self‐cleaning, waterproof, anti‐biofouling, anti‐corrosion, and low‐adhesion properties. Accordingly, numerous surfaces with hierarchical micro/nanostructures are designed and engineered to achieve superhydrophobicity.
