The Direct Cause of Amplified Wettability: Roughness or Surface Chemistry?

Higher contact angles or amplified wettability observed on surfaces of rough solid materials are typically expressed as a function of a physical dimension (roughness factor). Herein, we present a simple experimental approach that demonstrates that roughness may only magnify the inherent surface chem...
