3 Apparent contact angles - surface roughness Water strider resting on water and SEM images of a water strider leg at two magnifications. Feng, X.-Q.; Gao, X.; Wu, Z.; Jiang, L.; Zheng, Q.-S. Superior water repellency of water strider legs with hierarchical structures: Experiments and analysis. Langmuir, 23, ,

4 Contact angles on non-uniform surfaces Langmuir, 23(7) The effects are due to the nonuniformity at the contact line, not the contact area. cosθ rough cosθ = f cosθ + f cosθ c For air pockets: cosθ = f cosθ + f 1 c Combining gives: smooth cosθ = f cosθ + f 1 c = r cosθ 1 smooth 1 12

5 Superhydrophobic surfaces Many superhydrophobic surfaces are unstable. Dorrer and Ruehe, Langmuir, 23(7)
