Anisotropic wetting and de-wetting of drops on substrates patterned with polygonal posts
Robert J. Vrancken, Matthew L. Blow, Halim Kusumaatmaja +5
We present results showing how water drops, produced by ink-jet printing, spread on surfaces patterned with lattices of diamond or triangular posts. Considering post widths typical…

Fully reversible transition from Wenzel to Cassie-Baxter states on corrugated superhydrophobic surfaces
R. J. Vrancken, H. Kusumaatmaja, K. Hermans +4
Liquid drops on textured surfaces show different dynamical behaviors depending on their wetting states. They are extremely mobile when they are supported by composite solid-liquid-…
