Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Superhydrophobic surfaces (water contact angles higher than 150a) can only be achieved by a combination of hydrophobicity (low surface energy materials) with appropriate surface texture.

In nature one can find an array of impressive and elegant examples of superhydrophobic surfaces. For example, on a lotus leaf rain drops bounce off after impact.
