• superhydrophobic surface [18][19]. Results and Discussion 1. Droplet wrapping theory To assess whether it is energetically favourable for a liquid to become wrapped in a solid we consider the change in interfacial energy as the solid–vapor interface is replaced by a solid–liquid interface together with the
