Inspired by the carnivorous Nepenthes pitcher plant, a range of highly liquid repellent lubricant-infused surfaces has been devised (low water droplet contact angle hysteresis and sliding values). This entails matching functional pulsed plasma polymer nanolayers with appropriate slippery lubricants. A molecular-level structure–behavior relationship is developed, highlighting importance favorabl...
