A polymer coating which is sticky yet repulsive to water and slippery yet attractive for oils

A one-step process has been developed to produce a polymer coating which is hydrophobic and oleophilic, but which oil slides off and water adheres to at all tilt angles – including when vertically inclined or inverted. The polymer is transparent, and the plasma coating process is independent of subs...

The polymer is transparent, and the plasma coating process is independent of substrate composition and geometry.
