The nanostructured superamphiphobic surfaces were prepared on the stainless-steel mesh. By adjusting the mesh size of the surface, the continuity of trapped air layer on the superamphiphobic surface underwater could be controlled.

The oil droplet spread out on the superamphiphobic surface without mesh and exhibited an oil contact angle of about 0° under water.
