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 ...

Pancake bouncing on superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2014 Engineering surfaces that promote rapid drop detachment is of importance to a wide range of applications including anti-icing, dropwise condensation6, and self-cleaning. Here we show how superhydrophobic surfaces patterned with lattices of submillimetre-scale posts decorated with nano-textures can generate a counter-intuitive bouncing regime: drops ...
