Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1907413, Shutao Wang, Bailiang Wang, Jingxin Meng, and co‐workers prepare a transparent and mechanically robust underwater superoleophobic film by combining superspreading and biomineralization. The nacre‐like composition and structures significantly improve the mechanical properties of the film, imparting a robust underwater superoleophobicity and ultralow oil‐adhesion. Such films can be coated on different transparent materials and have promising applications in areas such as underwater optics and biological imaging.
