On the origin of the surface superhydrophobicity of rough-textured inorganic materials with intrinsic hydrophilicity In mechanism, the surface superhydrophobicity is often thought to be the result of trapping-air within the grooves leading to a composite solid-liquid-air interface. However, the mechanism cannot reasonably reflect why the rough surfaces of intrinsically hydrophilic materials are capable of behaving hydrophilicity or superhydrophobicity.
