A new model for contact angle hysteresis of superhydrophobic surface

Contact angle hysteresis (CAH) is essential to characterize the wetting properties of a surface. But its underlying causes are not yet understood. A model relating to CAH is presented through mathematical deduction. The calculation results coincide well with several experimental data from previous f...
