Droplet Impingement and Wetting Hysteresis on Textured Hydrophobic Surfaces

We study the wetting energetics and wetting hysteresis of sessile and impacting water droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces as a function of surface texture and surface energy. Detailed experiments tracking contact line motion simultaneously with contact angle provides new insights on the wetting hy...
