In article 1400559, T. Lin and co‐workers demonstrate that superamphiphobic fabrics prepared by a particle‐free coating can withstand 98% sulfuric acid, strong alkaline solution (e.g., 40% KOH), at least 800 cycles of machine wash, and 10 000 cycles of Martindale abrasion. The coating is also self‐healable against UV damages. It may be useful for developing functional textiles/clothing for personal protective applications.
