“…Superhydrophobicity confers to the materials some features, such as anti-icing, anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, that are very important in many engineering applications, e.g., aerospace, marine, biomedical, civil, etc. Moreover, superhydrophobic surfaces can also have a self-cleaning ability [5,6], i.e., dust/particles can be easily removed with rolling water drops, which is not the case on very smooth surfaces. This feature can have important consequences whether the self-cleaning material is used for architectonical applications, reducing frequent and expensive maintenance or cleaning procedures.…”
