Advancements in the fabrication and study of superhydrophobic surfaces have been significant over the past 10years, and some 20years after the discovery of the lotus effect, the study of special wettability surfaces can be considered mainstream. While the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces is well advanced and the physical properties of superhydrophobic surfaces well-understood, the robustness of these surfaces, both in terms of mechanical and thermodynamic properties, are only recently getting attention in the literature. In this review we cover publications that appeared over the past ten years on the thermodynamic and mechanical robustness of superhydrophobic surfaces, by which we mean the long term stability under conditions of wear, shear and pressure. The review is divided into two parts, the first dedicated to thermodynamic robustness and the second dedicated to mechanical robustness of these complex surfaces. Our work is intended as an introductory review for researchers interested in addressing longevity and stability of superhydrophobic surfaces, and provides an outlook on outstanding aspects of investigation.
在过去的 10 年中，超疏水表面的制造和研究取得了重大进展，在发现荷叶效应大约 20 年后，特殊润湿性表面的研究可以被认为是主流。虽然超疏水表面的制造已经很先进，并且超疏水表面的物理性质也得到了很好的理解，但这些表面的机械和热力学稳定性直到最近才在文献中受到关注。在这篇综述中，我们涵盖了过去十年中关于超疏水表面热力学和机械稳定性的出版物，我们将其定义为在磨损、剪切和压力条件下的长期稳定性。综述分为两部分，第一部分专门讨论热力学稳定性，第二部分专门讨论这些复杂表面的机械稳定性。我们的工作旨在为有兴趣解决超疏水表面耐久性和稳定性的研究人员提供一个介绍性的综述，并对调查的突出方面进行展望。
