Superhydrophobicity: Localized Parameters And Gradient Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The use of Cassie and Baxter's equation and that of Wenzel has been subject to some criticism of late. It has been suggested that researchers use these equations without always considering the assumptions that have been made and sometimes apply them to ...

Superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, 2012
AbstractSuperhydrophobicity – also known as water repellency – has recently attracted considerable attention because of its numerous potential applications. However, the fundamental concepts and equations describing the wettability of superhydrophobic surfaces have been known since the 1940s.

Unraveling the Salvinia paradox: design principles for submerged superhydrophobicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The complex structure of the Salvinia molesta is investigated via rare event molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that a hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning together with a re-entrant geometry control the free energy barriers for bubble nucleation
