The modified surface may even become superhydrophobic while the ratio of added hydrophobic site to the surface is relatively low. The relation between the contact angles and the effect of hydrophobic sites is further tested in blade scraping method and a similar result is also obtained. This method to achieve superhydrophobicity on the hydrophilic nanostructured porous material may open possibilities for achieving superhydrophobicity and enable functional superhydrophobic surfaces with heterogeneous components.[SDGs]SDG6journal article10.1063/1.49482502-s2.0-84966322291https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84966322291&doi=10.1063%2f1.4948250&partnerID=40&md5=704eca24a12424eb7e2f079bb3391afa
