    Functional surfaces with superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties are of great interest in many applications. However, such surfaces are generally difficult to obtain. Although a few superamphiphobic surfaces have been developed recently, a challenge still remains in preparing such a surface with good durability which is a critical issue in practical application. In this study, we demonstrate a facile method for preparing durable superhydrophobic and highly oleophobic surfaces using two kinds of nanoparticles. Epoxy resin is used as the adhesive material to improve the wear resistance of the surfaces. ZnO nanoparticles and SiO2 nanoparticles are used to create high surface roughness. The prepared surfaces exhibit excellent superhydrophobicity and high oleophobicity once the nanoparticles are treated with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxydsilane (FAS-17). Water and ethylene glycol contact angles of the coatings can reach up to 172 2 and 157 +/- 2 degrees, respectively. After undergoing strong adhesive tape peeling and mechanical abrasion, the coatings still maintain good amphiphobicity.
