Abstract
This review aims to address the lack of theoretical understanding of wetting regimes for various surfaces and highlight the physical insights of numerous wetting regimes and ideologies. Despite the growing interest in artificial superhydrophobic surfaces, the theoretical understanding of wetting regimes for various surfaces remains limited. Only a few review articles have been published on this topic, indicating a serious gap in the literature. This review is an attempt to bridge the literature gap specifically based on geometric feature-based wetting models. This study provides a useful guide for understanding the mechanism of superhydrophobicity and its application in the development of artificial superhydrophobic surfaces.
