Wetting states and coalescence-induced jumping of condensate droplets.
(left) Schematic drawing of the possible wetting states of condensate droplets on the hierarchical superhydrophobic surface and (right) droplet jumping that is induced by the coalescence of (a) only composite-, (b) only Cassie- and (c) both composite- and Cassie-state droplets. The scale bars on the images on the right are 50 μm.
