(A) Schematic of the radially arrayed undercut microstripes for oil droplet self-transportation. (B) Radially continuously decreasing air-liquid contact fraction (f2) creates an inward surface energy gradient. (C) Undercut structure with fluoropolymer coating maximizes upward suspension force for oil droplets, preventing penetration of oil into the texture.
