Hydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic
Hydrophobic: “fear of water” Refers to the degree that water “beads up” on a
surface
Hydrophilic: “love of water” Refers to the degree that water “wets” or adheres to
a surface
waterhydrophilic surface

Contact Angle
Angle where water drop makes contact with the surface
Hydrophilic: θ < 90° Hydrophobic: θ > 90° Superhydrophobic: θ > 150°

Polarity and Nano-roughness
Polarity: Opposites repel Polar vs. Nonpolar (ie., Oil and Water)
Nano-roughness: Hydrophobic “tails” Trapped air
