Furthermore, microstructures with improved wettability were produced, in which silica nanotextures were grown without modifying the chemical method to form superoleophilic and superhydrophobic networks. A superoleophilic surface (oil contact angle 0A degrees) and a superhydrophobic coated cotton fabric with surface free energy of gamma (total) = 13. 23 +/- A 0.37 mJ m(-2) (water contact angle of 167 +/- A 1A degrees and a small sliding angle of 4 +/- A 1A degrees) were successfully obtained. The results were exemplified here by the creation of immiscible oils separation membranes, and the innumerable applications of this technology also include self-cleaning fabrics, antistaining fabrics, water purification, and antiwetting fabrics for military applications.</p>10acontact angle10aLayer-by-layer deposition method10asol-gel processing10aSuperhydrophobic-superoleophilic surface1 aMahadik, Satish, A.1 aPedraza, Fernado, D.1 aRelekar, Brahmanand, P.1 aParale, Vinayak., G.1 aLohar, Gaurav, M.1 aThorat, Sagar, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-and-characterization-superhydrophobic-superoleophilic-surface
