28. Although the discs appear solid, they are porous, as indicated by their lower density compared to bulk copper and the fact that discs pressed from untreated copper powder are capable of completely adsorbing water drops placed on their surface within a few seconds.
29. Moreover, the discs displayed a highly reflective "silver mirror" effect when immersed in water and viewed at an oblique angle, because of the substantial air contribution for these Cassie-Baxter surfaces (25, 30).
