Requirements of Super-Hydrophobic Surface Super hydrophobic surfaces with a water contact angle (CA) greater than 150o
_ Hysteresis H = Requirements of Super-Hydrophobic Surface Super hydrophobic surfaces with a low hysteresis receding contact angle advancing contact angle Small Hysteresis The contact angle hysteresis can be regarded as the force required to move a liquid droplet across a surface. Liquid droplet can roll off easily

Conventionally, super-hydrophobic surfaces have been produced mainly in two ways: Create a rough surface (e.g., with a fractal structure) Modify the surface with materials of low surface free energy, such as fluorinated or silicon compounds.
