Wetting and Roughness
TL;DR: In this article, the roughness of a solid is discussed, and it is shown that both the apparent contact angle and the contact angle hysteresis can be dramatically affected by the presence of roughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic surfaces: from structural control to functional application
TL;DR: A superhydrophobic surface is a surface with a water contact angle close to or higher than 150° as discussed by the authors, and it is the combination of surface roughness and low-surface-energy modification that leads to super-hydrophobicity.

Effects of the Surface Roughness on Sliding Angles of Water Droplets on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between sliding angles and contact angles on superhydrophobic surfaces with roughness was investigated and an equation was derived to describe the relationship of sliding angle and contact angle.

Non-sticking drops
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how to make droplets stick to their substrates (even if they are inclined), which is a practical issue in many cases (windshields, window panes, greenhouses, or microfluidic devices).
