The bionic textures, especially the circular texture, significantly improve the abrasion resistance, owing to the synergistic effect of the soft-hard alternating structure on the surface. Compared with the other structures...

To this end, the effects of surface...

... causes the droplet to symmetrize its shape. It was found that the maximum adhesion between the droplet and hydrophobic pattern coincides with droplet base circularity and apparent contact angles of nearly identical values measured in the longitudinal and traverse directions. These findings confirm...
