A new superhydrophobic surface based on multi‐scales nanoparticle was designed and prepared to enhance the robustness and reproducibility. The influence of multi‐scale nanoparticles on the structure and property of the superhydrophobic surface was further investigated. The superhydrophobic surface with optimized composition did not only show high contact angle of 160°‐166.3° but also exhibited good durability to the mechanical, chemical, and thermal environments. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic surface was evaluated for application in anticorrosion, anti‐icing, and self‐cleaning. This study provides a new method to prepare robust superhydrophobic surface based on polymer nanocomposite coating for various potential applications.
