“…Contact angles of pristine samples were measured via a telescope-goniometer 37 to determine the angle tangent to a water droplet's contact with a given substrate. [37][38][39][40] All contact angle images were captured via the same telescoping camera and were subsequently measured using the image analysis soware ImageJ (NIH freeware). Lighting for each image was provided by a diffused light shadow box to avoid optical artifacts.…”
Rapid droplet impact testing has been leveraged to identify the most resilient self-similar superhydrophobic materials exhibit apolar chemistry, hierarchical topography, and gradual spallation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
