Electrically controlled frustration of total internal reflection on transparent superhydrophobic surfaces

Superhydrophobic surfaces are those that have a very low adhesion to water due to a combination of surface chemistry and physical roughness. This low adhesion surface offers the potential for enabling low energy optical contact between a liquid and solid surface. For the purposes of this study, opti...
