Special wettability of solid surfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and has attracted much attention because of its potential applications in diverse fields, such as oil-water separation, antibiofouling and drag reduction. Inspired by some biological organisms observed in nature with underwater superoleophobic properties, such as fish scales, columnar nacre and seaweed, researchers are trying to design and create novel interfacial materials.
