Hierarchical structures for natural superhydrophobic surfaces

Superhydrophobicity of natural surfaces has recently been studied intensively with the aim of designing artificial surfaces. However, the role of hierarchical structures in such surfaces has not been completely understood. Based on thermodynamic free energy analysis, we reveal that the harmonious co...
