"The main focus of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the new developments regarding the preparation and characterisation of superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces. Many methods used in the preparation of robust and durable superhydrophobic polymer surfaces as well as their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The close relationship between the polymer composition, hierarchical micro/nano surface topography and superhydrophobic behaviour are provided. In addition to practical aspects, special emphasis is also given to discussion of the theoretical foundations of the wetting behaviour of rough surfaces."--Back cover
