Superhydrophobic surfaces: a review on fundamentals, applications, and challenges (2018, methodology): “Lithography is a very useful technique for producing superhydrophobic surfaces for which the shape and the pattern are well-defined.(18,78) When a surface is exposed to an etching medium, chemical reactions selectively erode/remove materials.”
Oblique impacts of water drops onto hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces: outcomes, timing, and rebound maps (2014, background): “The high repellency is made possible by the presence of gas pockets trapped at the solid–liquid interface (Bhushan et al. 2009; Quéré 2005), limiting the contact between”
