Schematic processes of preparing CPMFs via BFs, (a) introducing polymer solution onto fabric by dip coating, (b) transferring solution-coated fabric into a sealed vessel saturated with aqueous vapor quickly, (c) Condensing water onto the solution-coated fabric by evaporative cooling, (d) Retaining conformal water droplet arrays-containing polymer gels on fabric, and (e) Obtaining CPMFs after complete evaporation of water and solvent.
