N2 - Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit significant potential for applications in biotechnology, biomedicine, and materials science, owing to their multifunctional properties such as self-cleaning and low solid-liquid adhesion. Diverging from traditional superhydrophobic surfaces, the more durable omniphobic NP-GLIDE (Nanometer-sized Pools of a Grafted Lubricating Ingredient for Dewetting Enablement) coating introduces a surface composed of a covalently bonded monolayer. This monolayer, a liquid-like polymer, integrates nanoscale pools of grafted liquid components within its matrix to enable dewetting. This paper offers a concise review of the latest developments in NP-GLIDE coating, encompassing its synthesis methods using various resins, structural characteristics, and its applications in omniphobic technologies. The assessment of these coatings considers their hydrophobic and oleophobic properties on diverse surfaces, their durability, and any additional functional capabilities. It also deliberates on the future of the field, highlighting the imperative to strike a balance between design simplicity, scalability, and environmental impact to facilitate the advent of technologies ready for mass production.
