Are there any compounds that can repel oils and liquids except fluorinated compounds?

01 May 2020 0 5K Report

Most oleophobic (oil repellent) surfaces have fabricated by using fluorinated compounds, but those are not eco-friendly. I am interested in fabricating oil repellent textiles without fluorinated compounds. Are there any compounds that can repel oils and liquids except fluorinated compounds?

Thank you.
