Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have been used as a good alternative for superhydrophobic coatings due to their increased durability against mechanical forces and their ability to repel liquids with a wide range of surface tensions. SLIPS generally consists of a superhydrophobic poro...
