Abstract
Wettability is an important characteristic of solid surfaces and is controlled by chemical composition and surface roughness. The creation of superhydrophobic engineering surfaces has aroused great interest in research and practical industrial applications in nano/micro electro mechanical surfaces (NEMS/MEMS). The review presented in this article covers the principles of hydrophobicity and various techniques which can be used to fabricate these surfaces. The modern techniques of characterization of superhydrophobic surfaces have also been included.
