Controlling wettability by using chemistry and topography generation of ultrahydrophilic surfaces

The control of surface properties, especially wetting behavior, is a major issue since many practical applications can be improved by tuning these behaviors. The ways in which topography and chemistry affect wettability have been studied extensively. Although, ultrahydrophobic and ultralyophobic sur...
