The fact that water droplets are far from wetting the surface upon which they stand leads to many associated tendencies, such as impeding fogging, icing and corrosion. The book covers the ways in which superhydrophobicity has been imparted to metals. Metals themselves tend more naturally to be hydrophilic; and so imparting superhydrophobicity relies upon adding some sort of coating. The book references 156 original resources with their direct web links for in-depth reading.
