摘要

The widespread usage of superamphiphobic surfaces could dramatically improve our lives. For example, we may lead a life with little need for laundry, no need to clean electronic products, cars or buildings. In addition, virtually any liquid could be spilled onto a surface without causing undesirable wetness or stains. Considering the performance and technological requirements of various industrial sectors, the use of polymer-based coatings is an outstanding approach to fabricate durable and multifunctional superamphiphobic surfaces at a low cost. In this review, the processes used to prepare superamphiphobic polymer-based coatings by spray- and dip-coating methods will be highlighted, and the compositions and properties of these materials will also be discussed. It is hoped that this review will provide inspiration and help with the design of applicable superamphiphobic materials, and will demonstrate the diverse range of applications of superamphiphobic materials.
