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 …

In nature, several available surfaces such as lotus leaves, rice leaves, butterfly wings, rose
petals, gecko feet, spider, and fish scales exhibit an excellent hydrophobicity or …

Over the past decade, there have been many successful attempts at artificially reproducing
the surface structures found on natural superhydrophobic surfaces. The researchers have …

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 …

Over the years, researchers have been working to mimic the nature by inducing
superhydrophobic properties into a variety of material surfaces so that they exhibit non …

As one of the most important parts in the surface and interface science, superhydrophobic
surfaces play a significant role in both the fundamental research of functional materials and …

Superhydrophobicity has recently drawn a great deal of attention from both fundamental and
practical application points of view. This paper summarizes the basic principles involved in …

The interest in superhydrophobic surfaces has grown exponentially over recent decades.
Since the lotus leaf dual hierarchical structure was discovered, researchers have …

Synthetic superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces were developed after 1990s, and the number of
publications in this field is around 13 500 at present. However, the industrial production of …

Surface wetting has a significant influence on the performance and applications of the
materials. The superhydrophobic surfaces have water repellency due to low surface energy …
