Micro-, nano- and hierarchical structures for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning and low adhesion (2009, background): “This leads to the formation of a homogeneous solid–liquid interface (Nosonovsky & Bhushan 2007b).”
Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, methodology): “The macroscale contact angle hysteresis and Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel transition cannot be determined from the macroscale equations and are governed by micro- and nanoscale effects, so wetting is a multiscale phenomenon [153,155,156,158,160].”
Mimicking natural superhydrophobic surfaces and grasping the wetting process: a review on recent progress in preparing superhydrophobic surfaces. (2011, background): “14(g–i); each seta is around 30–130 μm long and contains hundreds of submicron spatulae, forminghierarchical morphologies [37].”
Bio-Based Coatings for Paper Applications (2015, unknown): “superhydrophobic [135,136].”
