Spontaneous Recovery of Superhydrophobicity on Nanotextured Surfaces

, 2015
Rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces are dubbed superhydrophobic due to their numerous desirable properties, such as water repellency and interfacial slip. Superhydrophobicity stems from an aversion for water to wet the surface texture, so that a water
