Polymer hybrids, including polymer/polymer hybrids and polymer/inorganic hybrids, have been extensively investigated in the polymer community. In this talk we will describe our recent endeavors of making raspberry-like particles, semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (SIPNs), and clay-encapsulated particles, together with their applications in smart coatings including super-repellent coatings, anti-bioadhesion coatings, as well as antifogging coatings.
