The book provides a comprehensive and broad overview of superwettability with concepts borrowed from biology. It starts with the fundamentals of wetting behavior and then covers the preparation and characterization of materials with different degrees of wettability. The major part of the book is devoted to the potential and already realized applications of superwettability.
