14. The scant citations to earlier work in the literature demonstrate that there is a disconnect between what was of interest in the 1940s and the recent research on superhydrophobicity. Publication and patenting of much of the GE and Corning research were delayed or never occurred because of World War II, and the reports that eventually appeared did not report contact angle data.
