Title: Nanowetting of rough superhydrophobic surfaces

Journal Article · · Appl. Phys. Lett.
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2825415· OSTI ID:1007673

Small angle x-ray scattering has been used to investigate the in situ immersive wetting of ultrarough surfaces which exhibit superhydrophobicity with extreme water contact angle ({theta}{sub A} = 169{sup o}). Reduced scattering contrast observed from rough surfaces when partially or totally wetted reveals significant physical differences between superhydrophobic surfaces not otherwise apparent from conventional contact angle measurements.
