Wetting study of patterned surfaces for superhydrophobicity.

摘要: Superhydrophobic surfaces have considerable technological potential for various applications due to their extreme water-repellent properties. A number of studies been carried out produce artificial biomimetic roughness-induced hydrophobic surfaces. In general, both homogeneous and composite interfaces are possible on the produced surface. Silicon patterned with pillars two different diameters heights varying pitch values were fabricated. We show how static contact angles vary silicon Based experimental data a numerical model, trends explained. that superhydrophobic low hysteresis tilt angle. Tribological properties play an important role in many requiring Therefore, it is study adhesion friction these mimic nature. An atomic/friction force microscope (AFM/FFM) used surface characterization measurements.
