21. Recent work by McCarthy and colleagues (20) points out that these models are applicable only at the solid-liquidvapor three-phase contact line (drop perimeter) and that the interfacial area within the drop perimeter does not affect either the apparent contact angle or the hysteresis; thus, these models can be easily applied only to surfaces with a homogeneous texture, as considered here.

37. These surfaces are referred to as micro-hoodoos because their geometry and process of creation are reminiscent of geological features called hoodoos, which are created by soil erosion. Hoodoos are composed of a soft sedimentary rock topped by a piece of harder, less easily eroded stone.
38. 0.5 (capillary length; ρ is the density of liquid), the effect of gravity is negligible and we approximate the liquid-air interface to be a horizontal plane.
39. sl is the change in solid-liquid contact area with the advancing or receding of the liquid, and dθ is the change in local contact angle. This criterion also emphasizes the importance of re-entrant surfaces.

41. As the surface is pushed toward the water droplet, the droplet moves, and hence the normal force is not transferred perfectly.
42. The difference in contact angle values from the Cassie prediction is related to contact line pinning.
