Jun-Han Park, Bo Sung Shin, Ahmad Jabbarzadeh
Abstract
, and the degree of anisotropy. The observed average contact angle for 1D patterned oleophilic surfaces disagreed with the predicted values from the Wenzel theory. However, the theory could correctly predict the state of the droplet being Cassie-Baxter or Wenzel.
