Abstract
different adhesive application methods. Additionally, the review summarizes the commercial products currently available, analyzing mechanical robustness and highlighting the most performant products. The common testing methods for the mechanical robustness of superhydrophobic coatings are also introduced. Finally, we discuss the challenges faced in this field and outline potential research directions to address the current limitations. This review aims to provide valuable guidance for the rational design of high-performance mechanically robust superhydrophobic coatings based on adhesives.
