Although amphiphobic materials have attracted tremendous attention recently owing to their many important applications, there remain some critical challenges such as complex or expensive fabrications, poor long-term stability, nontransparency, etc. Herein, we develop a novel kind of amphiphobic materials-statically amphiphilic but dynamically amphiphobic fluoride-free transparent coating-through one-step reaction. The obtained transparent coating can be readily applied to different kinds of substrates including flat surfaces, curved surfaces, or inner walls of some tubes and bottles, and demonstrate excellent repellency against various high/low-surface-tension liquids and outstanding stability against external damages.
