Mammalian Cell Behavior on Hydrophobic Substrates: Influence of Surface Properties (2019, background): “Nevertheless, the permanent existence of a bubble significantly delays the colonization by microorganisms and, in general, higher apparent contact angles still underline an increased stability of a superhydrophobic surface [84,85].”
