Poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate) micro‐pillar‐arrays grafted with poly(methacrylic acid) brushes are fabricated via an anodic aluminum oxide template confined synthesis and subsequent post‐polymerization modification. The obtained hierarchical film features a permanent underwater superoleophobic and a pH adjustable oil adhesion property. The results pave the way towards preparation of smart hierarchical surfaces that show potential application in self‐cleaning devices or marine industry.
