Characterization of ultrahydrophobic hierarchical surfaces fabricated using a single-step fabrication methodology [PDF]
, 2011 Hydrophobic surfaces with microscale roughness can be rendered ultrahydrophobic by the addition of sub-micron-scale roughness. A simple yet highly effective concept of fabricating hierarchical structured surfaces using a single-step deep reactive ion ...

Static Electrification by Nonwetting Liquids. Contact Charging and Contact Angles
Langmuir, 1995 A glass slide hydrophobized with dimethyldichlorosilane appears to be electrostatically charged when a nonwetting liquid recedes from its surface. The surface charge has negative polarity. The density of the charge which arises on retraction from water is 10 -4 C/m 2 . The half-life of the charge on the surface in air is 0.5 h.

A Variational Approach to Contact Angle Saturation and Contact Line Instability in Static Electrowetting [PDF]
The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 2009 Drops of a conducting fluid in electrowetting devices tend to spread when a difference of potential V o is set between the drop and an electrode external to it. The classical Lippmann theory predicts unlimited spreading, with a decrease of the contact angle between drop and solid substrate, as one increases V 0 .
