Implication

Experimental study reveals that reducing surface roughness increases droplet lateral friction on superhydrophobic surfaces, highlighting geometric controls for advanced functional interfaces.

Key Points

Water droplets transition from a Cassie state to a Wenzel state as surface roughness decreases, and this morphological shift increases both static and sliding lateral friction.
Reducing surface roughness to 3.512 μm increases maximum static friction force to 51.52 μN, whereas lowering surface energy reverses this trend by promoting a Cassie state.
Assessment using a lateral friction detection system characterizes polydimethylsiloxane interfaces, highlighting novel geometries for developing advanced functional surfaces.
