Superhydrophobic surfaces (water contact angles higher than 150A )
can only be achieved by a combination of hydrophobicity (low
surface energy materials) with appropriate surface texture. In
nature one can find an array of impressive and elegant examples of
superhydrophobic surfaces. For example, on a lotus leaf rain drops
bounce off after impact, then entirely roll off the lotus leaf and
drag along any dirt particles, without leaving residues. The
artificial design of superhydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces
has become an extremely active area of fundamental and applied
research. This book presents both fundamental and applied aspects
of superhydrophobic surfaces. It describes also different
strategies for making superhydrophobic surfaces from a large
diversity of materials (polymers, metals and other inorganic
materials, composites) and processes (lithographic techniques,
electrochemical processes, self-assembly processes, colloidal
particles, sol-gel processes, nanofilaments, or simple scraping). A
bountiful of information is covered in this book which represents
cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned researchers in the
fascinating and burgeoning area of superhydrophobic surfaces.
