Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

Texturing of the surface is a technique to form the surfaces of the desired pattern. It is
extensively used to alter the mechanical and tribological properties, such as increased …

A typical superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobic) surface can repel water droplets from wetting
itself, and the contact angle of a water droplet resting on a superhydrophobic surface is …

Contact angle has been an important parameter to determine the wetting ability of the
polymer membrane surface. Contact angle has gained interest in surface science in regards …

Research into extreme water-repellent surfaces began many decades ago, although it was
only relatively recently that the term superhydrophobicity appeared in literature. Here we …

A view of contact angle hysteresis from the perspectives of the three-phase contact line and
of the kinetics of contact line motion is given. Arguments are made that advancing and …

Asphalt mastic, composed of asphalt and filler, is an important part of asphalt mixture. The
interaction between asphalt and filler, called asphalt-filler interaction, directly affects the …

We argue using experimental data that contact lines and not contact areas are important in
determining wettability. Three types of two-component surfaces were prepared that contain …

Wettability is a tendency for a liquid to spread on a solid substrate and is generally
measured in terms of the angle (contact angle) between the tangent drawn at the triple point …

Fabricating aluminium surfaces with superhydrophobic and ice-repellent properties present
nowadays a challenging task. In this work, multifunctional structures are manufactured by …
