This study introduces a new approach in fabrication of robust superhydrophobic fabrics. This approach benefits from the microstructure of paper and chemical properties of polydimethylsiloxane. The infusion of polydimethylsiloxane and subsequent deposition of the hydrophobic nanoparticles enables strong bonding, as shown by the excellent solvent stability of the superhydrophobic fabric under ultrasonication. The proposed approach is low cost, scalable, and eco‐friendly. The image is designed by Serdar Onses and colleagues. DOI: 10.1002/app.51358
