Liquid-like surfaces (LLS), as novel bioinspired interfacial materials, form dynamic molecular brush interfaces through the covalent grafting of flexible polymers or alkyl molecular chains. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional superhydrophobic surfaces (SHPS) and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS), which heavily rely on micro/nanostructures or external lubricants. The core advantage of LLS lies in the high mobility of its molecular chains, which significantly reduces contact angle hysteresis (CAH) and sliding angle (SA), enabling droplet self-cleaning at minimal tilt angles or even on horizontal surfaces. This paper first elaborates on the liquid-repellent mechanism of LLS, which involves the use of flexible chains to mask substrate defects and reduce contact line pinning effects, thereby achieving dynamic droplet dewetting. Subsequently, it summarizes the three main types of LLS, including monolayers, polymer layers, and organic-inorganic hybrid layers, and analyzes the relationship between different structures and liquid-repellent performance. Next, the applications of LLS coatings in anti-icing, self-cleaning, graffiti resistance, anti-bioadhesion, directional liquid transport, anti-scaling, and membrane fouling inhibition are reviewed. Finally, the challenges faced by LLS coatings, such as mechanical durability and chemical stability, are discussed, along with future prospects for advancing multifunctional integration.
