ABSTRACT

The wettability of solid surfaces is a very important property of surface chemistry, which is controlled by both the chemical composition and the geometrical microstructure of a rough surface [1-3]. When a liquid droplet contacts a rough surface, it will spread or remain as droplet with the formation of angle between the liquid and solid phases. Contact angle (CA) measurements are widely used to characterize the wettability of rough surface [3-5]. There are various methods to make a rough surface, such as electrospinning, electrochemical deposition, evaporation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma, and so on.
