We perform experiments to characterize the transition from the Cassie-Baxter to the Wenzel state for droplets suspended on a superhydrophobic surface. The scaling laws deriving from the theory are tested.

Abstract

We perform experiments to characterize the transition from the Cassie-Baxter to the Wenzel state for droplets suspended on a superhydrophobic surface. The scaling laws deriving from the theory are tested.
