transfer under saturated conditions are investigated with water as working fluid. Wettability of
the base surface (ITO-coated sapphire) is modified by coating 60 nm thick SiO 2 film using
different thin film deposition techniques. In this way, two surfaces with modified wettability
(30 o and 65 o static contact angles) have the same surface chemistry with negligible
variation in surface roughness, while the base surface itself acts as the third surface with 90 …
