Super-Water-Repellent Fractal Surfaces
Abstract
Wettability of fractal surfaces has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The contact angle of a liquid droplet placed on a fractal surface is expressed as a function of the fractal dimension, the range of fractal behavior, and the contacting ratio of the surface. The result shows that fractal surfaces can be super water repellent (superwettable) when the surfaces are composed of hydrophobic (hydrophilic) materials. We also demonstrate a super-water-repellent fractal surface made of alkylketene dimer; a water droplet on this surface has a contact angle as large as 174°.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
