Micrometrically scaled textured metallic hydrophobic interfaces validate the Cassie–Baxter wetting hypothesis

The possibility of forming a hydrophobic metallic interface is shown when it is micrometrically textured. On such surface obtained by gold coating the polymer honeycomb template, the apparent contact angle of water was observed to be close to or greater than 90°. The metal hydrophobicity is explaine...
