AB  - Omniphobic surfaces have a plethora of applications ranging from household paints 
      to sensors. The predominant practice of fabricating those materials/surfaces is 
      to use fluorinated materials which are environmentally harmful, and thus have 
      limited practical applications. In this study, we report a novel dual-layer 
      approach of fabrication towards omniphobic surfaces using polyurethane (PU) as a 
      matrix and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a self-cleaning ingredient. This 
      approach was also used to produce omniphobic PU nanocomposites, where nanofillers 
      (e.g., nanoclay, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and graphene oxide (GO)) were 
      incorporated. The resultant coatings were investigated for their performance, 
      such as optical clarity, durability, and self-cleaning properties. In addition, 
      scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for microstructural analysis of the 
      obtained coatings. The facile nature of fabrication and the use of PDMS, an 
      environmentally benign material relative to fluorinated chemicals, thus offer an 
      eco-friendly sustainable scheme for practical applications aimed at omniphobic 
      purposes.
