Abstract
In the last few years a great deal of attention has been given to superhydrophobic surfaces and their impact on drag reduction in fluid flow dynamics. Such surfaces are now employed as self-cleaning substrates and it is expected that their use in the coming years will greatly multiply. In the laboratory, these surfaces often consist of alternating microribs and microcavities that are etched into a silicone substrate using a deep reactive ion etching process (DRIE) as seen in Fig. 1.
