An organic-inorganic composite film with superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity was constructed on copper mesh by facile dip-coating. The water contact angle on the film is 152° while the oil contact angle is less than 10°. It is confirmed that the cooperative effect of the hierarchical structures composed by linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and SiO₂ nanoballs, and the nature of the LLPDE contribute to the wettability. The film with unique wettability exhibits self-cleaning and good anti-corrosion properties, and can be employed to effectively separate oil from water. Compared with traditional techniques for constructing superhydrophobic-superoleophilic film, the method adopted here is simple, low cost, fluorine-free, and may be applied in practice.
