Abstract Superhydrophobic materials are defined as a kind of materials with water static contact angle of 150° or higher and sliding angle of less than 10°. The super hydrophobic properties of the materials are derived from two aspects. On the one hand, it is difficult for water droplets to spread on the surface of the materials because of the existence of low-surface-energy substances. On the other hand, the rich hierarchical micro/nanostructures enable the formation of an“air cushion” between the solid and liquid phases, which further reduces the solid-liquid interface. Accordingly, the superhydrophobic materials are endowed with special functions like self-cleaning, anti-fouling, corrosion resistant, anti-icing, drag-reduction, anti-adhesion, oil/water separation, water directional collection, etc. Additionally, materials with anti-adhesion, oil-water separation, water collection can be also achieved based on superhydrophobic materials. Unfortunately, superhydrophobic materials are highly susceptible to environmental hazards such as chemical etching, scratch and abrasion, resulting in loss of low-surface-energy components or destruction of hierarchical structures, eventually leads to the decline or loss of super water-repellency. To solve these problems, durable superhydrophobic materials are proposed, which can be achieved mainly by two approaches, one is to design superhydrophobic materials with high abrasive resistance, in purpose of minimizing friction or wear damage to chemical components or micro-nanoscale topography. The other is to construct self-healing superhydrophobic materials, for the sake of repairing the damage caused by friction and wear on the surface component or structure in time, and restoring the superhydrophobic property of the material. The former shows certain limitation in selection of wearproof materials because of the demand for introducing high wear-resistant material. more attentions have been paid on the latter owing to its university. Generally, there are two approaches for fabrication of self-healing superhydrophobic materials. Specifically speaking, the first approach is constructing the superhydrophobic system capable of automatically complement the lost chemical composition by low-surface-energy substance. Concerning the absence of simple hydrophobic components timely supplement of surface components with low surface energy can realize the restoration of super-hydrophobicity by taking advantage of self-migration and rearrangement of this material on surface. For example, graft fluorinated groups to the bulk materials, take the micropores or microcapsules of the material as storage sites for low-surface-energy substances, etc. Anot-her approach to repair severely crushed microstructures and damaged surface chemistry involves design of superhydrophobic system capable of reconstructing hierarchical micro/nanostructures, such as introducing hydrophobic particles, preparing all-in-one coatings, imitating snakeskin-like shedding, utilizing shape memory polymer, etc. In this review,we summarize the recent progress of self-healing superhydrophobic materials, elaborate the design idea, effect of hydrophobicity and self-healing mechanism of typical self-healing superhydrophobic systems. We also point out the challenges and prospects in self-healing superhydrophobic field, in order to provide references for fabrication of long-term superhydrophobic materials for widespread applications.
