“Smart Surfaces” are Superamphiphobic Surfaces

Smart surfaces are the surfaces which are covered with nano-sized structures. On the nano scale the smart surfaces have only one dimension. These are gaining popularity due to their unique applications. The smart surfaces find application across construction, energy, transportation, medical and healthcare, electronics and military and security among others. In 2014, the global market for smart surfaces was worth US$0.4 bn and is anticipated to reach a value of US$20.5 bn by the end of 2021. The market is projected to exhibit an exponential 66.40% CAGR between 2015 and 2021.
