Evaporation-Induced Cassie Droplets on Superhydrophilic Microstructured Surfaces

A droplet deposited on a rough, lyophilic surface satisfying the imbibition condition, results in complete wetting. However, in this work, we demonstrate that this behavior can be altered by superheating the substrate such that droplets can reside in a non-wetting Cassie state due to evaporation. Ph...
