Abstract
- In this work, we studied the wettability of hydrophobic surfaces fabricated with three different materials (PTFE, PDMS and paraffin wax) over a wide range of roughness. We estimated the Advancing, Receding and Most-Stable contact angles and we identified the transition from a homogeneous wetting regime (Wenzel) to a hybrid wetting regime (Cassie-Baxter). Using a modified Cassie-Baxter equation which considers the chemical heterogeneity of the samples, we were able to determine the solid area fraction within the contact area. This way, we designed a methodology to identify the superhydrophobic degree of rough-hydrophobic surfaces.
