11. Let us stress that for these "two-levels" surfaces, r and φs can be treated as independent: for example, increasing the height of the spike keeping everything else constant makes r increase at a constant φs. This opens the possibility for a fine tuning of the wetting properties of a solid. First realizations of such surfaces are described in ÖNER D. and MCCARTHY T. J., Langmuir, 16 (2000) 7777.
