Enhancing the lifespan and durability of superamphiphobic surfaces for potential industrial applications: A review.

ABSTRACT

A superamphiphobic surface is a special wettability surface that repels liquids with lower surface tension than water. Superamphiphobic surface has a variety of applications, such as self-cleaning, anticorrosion, electrical conductivity, flame retardant, flexible sensors, super-fast bubble bursting, droplet control. With the improvement of the theory of wettability, the superamphiphobic surface has developed rapidly recently. However, due to the problems of poor durability and short service life, the field of superamphiphobic has not been well promoted and applied in real life. These questions are also concerned by many researchers, and many related studies have been published in recent years. However, these studies lack logic and organization, and fail to obtain systematic induction and summary, which is not conducive to the follow-up research of subsequent researchers. Therefore, the main purpose of this review is to summarize and review the development, basic principles, preparation methods, durability characterization methods and applications of superamphiphobic surfaces, and the efforts made by researchers in recent years to enhance the durability of superamphiphobic surfaces. The main directions of durability enhancement are structures, surface chemistry conditioning, adhesive, and versatile coating.
