Superhydrophobic surfaces hold great prospects for extremely diverse applications owing to
their water repellence property. The essential feature of superhydrophobicity is micro-/nano …

Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

The ability of water to lie on a surface as a flat film rather than in form of droplets is one of the
crucial surface properties which play an important role in many practical applications …

Patterned superhydrophobic surfaces have a wide range of applications in terms of
microfluidic devices. In this work, a simple and robust method is proposed to fabricate …

Wetting of rough hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces is discussed. The stability of the
Cassie state, with air trapped in relief details under the droplet, is necessary for the design of …

The transition between the Cassie and Wenzel wetting regimes has been observed under
vertical vibration of a water drop placed on a rough micrometrically scaled polymer pattern …

The underlying theories interpreting wetting phenomena are still mainly focused on the
Young's equation, the Wenzel equation, and the Cassie–Baxter equation, despite the fact …

Wetting of pigeon feathers has been studied. It was demonstrated that the Cassie–Baxter
wetting regime is inherent for pigeon pennae. The water drop, supported by network formed …

A femtosecond laser was used to create microstructures on very pure metal surfaces. The
irradiated samples initially showed super-hydrophilic behavior. With time and exposure to …
