Surfaces prepared offer contact angles higher than 160?with typical sliding angles around 10?
2.
Contact angle is a measure of static hydrophobicity, and contact angle hysteresis and slide angle are dynamic measures.
3.
Liquids in the Cassie-Baxter state generally exhibit lower slide angles and contact angle hysteresis than those in the Wenzel state.
4.
In general, liquids in the Cassie Baxter state exhibit lower slide angles and contact angle hysteresis than those in the Wenzel state.
5.
The slide angle is another dynamic measure of hydrophobicity and is measured by depositing a droplet on a surface and tilting the surface until the droplet begins to slide.
6.
Surfaces that are not homogeneous will have domains that impede motion of the contact line . The slide angle is another dynamic measure of hydrophobicity and is measured by depositing a droplet on a surface and tilting the surface until the droplet begins to slide.
