Underwater smart surfaces that can switch between superoleophobicity and superoleophilicity are fabricated by L. Jiang and co‐workers with a combination of mixed brushes containing a thermo‐responsive polymer and an underwater oleophilic silane, and nanostructured silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWAs). Temperature‐induced underwater adhesion switching between low‐adhesive superoleophobicity and highly adhesive superoleophobicity is then achieved on page 3338.
