Abstract: For water droplets placed on a rough or structured surface, two distinct wetting states commonly observed are either the Wenzel state (droplets wet the surface without showing air pockets beneath the droplets) or the Cassie… read more here.

Abstract: Understanding droplet wetting on surfaces has broad implications for surface science and engineering. Here, we report a joint theoretical/experimental study of the topological wetting states of water droplets on chemically heterogeneous closed-loop and planar surfaces.… read more here.
