Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201470145-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A bottom‐up, ink‐combination method to rapidly achieve a water wettability and adhesion transition in situ with a great contrast on super‐amphiphobic TiO₂ nanostructured films is developed. On page 4865, Y.‐K. Lai, K.‐Q. Zhang, L.‐F. Chi, and co‐workers show why the multifunctional superamphiphobic TiO₂ nanostructure surfaces with switchable wettability and adhesion engineering are excellent templates for microdroplet manipulation (storage, moving, mixing, and transfer), positive and negative micropatterning, specific gas sensing, and site‐selective biomedical scaffolds. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2jcc21f6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
