Patterned surfaces : The fabrication of patterned superomniphobic–superomniphilic surfaces is reported. Such patterned surfaces are expected to be useful in developing well‐defined microreactors for liquid‐phase reactions, significantly enhancing heat transfer during condensation and boiling of various low‐surface‐tension liquids, and in fabricating precisely tailored arrays of polymers and microparticles of different sizes and shapes.
