Abstract

There are currently three main classes of liquid-repellent surfaces: micro- or nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces, flat surfaces grafted with "liquidlike" polymer brushes, and lubricated surfaces. Despite recent progress, the mechanistic explanation for the differences in droplet behavior on such surfaces is still under debate. Here, we measure the dissipative force acting on a droplet moving on representatives of these surfaces at different velocities U=0.01-1 mm/s using a cantilever force sensor with submicronewton accuracy and correlate it to the contact line dynamics observed using optical interferometry at high spatial (micron) and temporal (
