“…2B). This water repellency is consistent with predictions using the Cassie-Baxter Law of wetting (28)(29)(30). This law states that the contact angle θ Ã of a textured solid is given by the relation cosðθ Ã Þ ¼ ϕðcos θ e þ 1Þ − 1, where ϕ is the area fraction of the ant-water contact.…”

“…As shown in Fig. 2A, an ant's cuticle is mildly hydrophobic, with a contact angle θ e of 102 AE 4°(N ¼ 10), a value consistent with measurements on other terrestrial insects (28). An advantage of being hydrophobic is the ability of ants and semiaquatic insects to trap a plastron layer of air around their bodies, without which they would sink.…”

“…26,27 The driving force is induced by mass transfer along an interface between two types of liquids owing to a surface tension gradient caused by different compositions or temperatures. 28 Inspired by this phenomenon, scientists have applied the Marangoni effect as self-propelling power for the locomotion of macroscopic objects on interfaces.…”
