Abstract
and 1.8, respectively, resulting in universal and switchable omni-repellency. Of particular importance is that the as-prepared coating makes possible the on-demand separation of multiphase liquid mixtures by both continuous membrane filtration and static absorption, presenting a green and cost-effective approach to addressing this major environmental and industrial challenge.
