How a liquid drop sits or moves depends on the physical and mechanical properties of the underlying substrate. This can be seen in the hysteresis of the contact angle made by a drop on a solid, which ...
On a non-textured (or smooth) surface, the equilibrium contact angle θ for any contacting liquid is given by Young’s relation 10 as: The second important parameter for characterizing surface ...
Ever since the discovery of the lotus effect in the early 1970s, researchers have designed and tested superhydrophobic surfaces with potential applications in self-cleaning, low-drag, anti-icing, and ...
