The TPC line resistance (hysteresis) is due to solid surface heterogeneities:
morphologic and/or energetic

Morphologic heterogeneity
The intrinsic contact angle at a rough surface is different from measured one:

Adhesion, viscous friction and contact line barriers have the same nature: van der Waals interactions
In the case of: - non-slip boundary conditionsviscous fluids - barrier contact line motion
- TPC angle hysteresis
In the case of: - free boundary slippageideal fluids - barriereless contact line motion
- no TPC hysteresis (Young Model)

Super-hydrophobicity
We learn from nature ...
... and want to mimic
- adhesives- coatings- în microelectronics

Super-hydrophobicity
Wettability can be manipulated through
- changes in surface energy- changes in surface morphology/topography
(roughness, geometry)
