Superhydrophobic porous surfaces with hydrophilic polymers adsorbed in pores are designed to control the coalescing behavior of microdroplets as well as their quick self‐removal. The combination of chemical composition and surface structure are greatly important in the design of new materials for heat exchange, antifogging, and anti‐icing.
