The study of wetting has always been a very active field of research. In recent years, the interest in this field is stimulated by nanoengineering the surface to meet the requirements of various biological, chemical and industrial applications by modifying their wetting properties. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of silver nanocolumns on the static as well as dynamic wettability of surface. The nanocolumns of about 400 nm length and 150 nm diameter (α =85°) were grown by oblique angle deposition method over the Si(100) substrate. The effect of these nanocolumns on static wetting behavior was studied by performing sessile drop contact angle measurements using de-ionized water. A significant enhancement in the hydrophobicity of silver surface with contact angle value of 108° was observed (see supplement file, Fig. 1). To ensure that the observed changes in wetting behavior are due to the influence of nanocolumns, the measurements were carried out for different surface features ranging from plane to nanocolumnar film (grown for α=0°, 65°, 75° and 85°, see SEM images in supplement file, Fig.2). Contact angle was observed to increase gradually from 94° to 96° with increase in oblique angle (α) from 0° to 75°. A drastic increase in contact angle was observed for nanocolumnar surface grown at α=85°. For these silver samples the rms (root mean squre) surface roughness was found to follow almost the same pattern as that of contact angle with α, suggesting the dependence of wettability on surface roughness. The observed results were explained following the Cassie-Baxter model considering the silver nanocolumns to form a silver-air composite surface. To investigate the effect of nanocolumns on dynamic wetting property, the contact angle measurements for higher sample surface temperature (Ts=80°C) were performed and the rate of change of contact angle of water drop for an interval of 10 sec was measured. This transition rate of contact angle values was found to increase drastically for the nanocolumnar surface (see the supplement file, Fig.3). It shows that the nanocolumnar growth affects not only the static contact angle by making the surface hydrophobic but also greatly influences the surface temperature dependent dynamic wetting behavior of water drop. This study provides a basic understanding of the wetting behavior of nanocolumnar surface as well as shows the possibility to tune the surface wettability for meeting the requirements of various industrial applications.
