Dynamic friction measurements provide a more accurate characterization of the wetting properties of superhydrophobic surfaces compared to contact angle and sliding angle measurements. The force-based technique reduces standard deviations and provides higher accuracy in determining sliding angles and stability transitions.
Hypothesis: Contact angle and sliding angle measurements are widely used to characterize superhydrophobic surfaces because of the simplicity and accessibility of the technique. We hypothesize that dynamic friction measurements, with increasing pre-loads, between a water drop and a superhydrophobic surface is more accurate because this technique is less influenced by local surface inhomogeneities and temporal surface changes. Experiments: A water drop, held by a ring probe which is connected to a dual-axis force sensor, is sheared against a superhydrophobic surface while maintaining a constant preload. From this force-based technique, static and kinetic friction forces measurements are used to characterize the wetting properties of the superhydrophobic surfaces. Furthermore, by applying increased pre-loads to the water drop while shearing, the critical load at which the drop transitions from the Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel state is also measured. Findings: The force-based technique predicts sliding angles with reduced standard deviations (between 56 and 64%) compared to conventional optical-based measurements. Kinetic friction force measurements show a higher accuracy (between 35 and 80%) compared to static friction force measurements in characterizing the wetting properties of superhydrophobic surfaces. The critical loads for the Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel state transition allows for stability characterization between seemingly similar superhydrophobic surfaces.
