The study demonstrates that a surface with certain roughness on single micro-scale structures can exhibit petal effect, where water drops can be pinned by infiltrating into spaces between micro-pillars. Experimental observations reveal the evolution of wetting behavior of water droplets on surfaces with varying roughness, including the Cassie-Wenzel transition during ACA measurement.
Hypothesis: It has been verified that a surface of single micro-scale structures with certain roughness could exhibit petal effect. That is, water drops with a contact angle larger than 150 degrees would pin on the petal effect surface. It is conjectured that the water drop could pin on the single micro-scale roughness petal effect surface by totally infiltrating into spaces (or grooves) between micro-pillars. Experiments: An inverted optical microscopy system is synchronically applied in the process of advancing/receding contact angle (ACA/RCA) measurements to directly observe the wetting behavior of water droplets on hydrophobic patterned surfaces with regular arrays of square micro-pillars. Findings: A sequence of wetting behavior evolution, Wenzel-. petal-. pseudo-lotus-. lotus, is observed on the hydrophobic patterned surfaces along with increasing surface roughness. It is interesting to observe a Cassie-Wenzel transition for water drops on a petal substrate during the ACA measurement (embedded needle method), leading to two ACAs, one before (in Cassie state) and one after the transition (in Wenzel state). Thus, the petal substrates have large contact angle hysteresis (CAH) (with both ACA and RCA in Wenzel state) to pin the water drop in Wenzel state. A Cassie-Wenzel transition is consistently observed during the evaporation process of water drops on pseudo-lotus substrates, leading to two RCAs: one in Cassie state and one in Wenzel state. The pseudo-lotus substrates have CAH (with both ACA and RCA in Cassie state) small enough to make water drops easily slide off. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
