Spontaneous Breakdown of Superhydrophobicity [PDF]
In some cases water droplets can completely wet micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces. The {\it dynamics} of this rapid process is analyzed by ultra-high-speed imaging.

An introduction to superhydrophobicity [PDF]
This paper is derived from a training session prepared for COST P21. It is intended as an introduction to superhydrophobicity to scientists who may not work in this area of physics or to students.

Superhydrophobic frictions [PDF]
Significance The matchless mobility of water on superhydrophobic materials is often considered as the hallmark of water repellency. The friction of drops is indeed found to be unusual: instead of observing classical friction such as due to contact line and liquid viscosity, we show that the main source of resistance to the water motion arises

Superhydrophobic Terrestrial Cyanobacteria and Land Plant Transition
Plants and other organisms have evolved structures and mechanisms for colonizing land since the Early Ordovician. In this context, their surfaces, the crucial physical interface with the environment, are mainly considered barriers against water loss.

Superhydrophobic films (SHF) have recently increased in routine due to their non-wettable capacity. Superhydrophobicity can be occurred by making a micro-structural-post on materials with the surface having a low energy level.

Fabrication of elastic, conductive, wear-resistant superhydrophobic composite material
A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Cu superhydrophobic composite material is fabricated by wet etching, electroless plating, and polymer casting. The surface topography of the material emerges from hierarchical micro/nanoscale structures of etched aluminum ...
