Superhydrophobic surfaces: from structural control to functional application
Abstract
A superhydrophobic surface is a surface with a water contact angle close to or higher than 150°. In this feature article, we review the historical and present research on superhydrophobic surfaces, including the characterization of superhydrophobicity, different ways to fabricate rough surfaces, and low-surface-energy modifications on inorganic and organic rough surfaces. It is the combination of surface roughness and low-surface-energy modification that leads to superhydrophobicity. Notably, research on superhydrophobic surfaces has not only fundamental interest but various possible functional applications in micro- and nano-materials and devices.

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.
