Abstract

We present results of molecular dynamics simulations of water droplets at pillar surfaces comprised of sheets of carbon atoms. We examine variations in the contact angle with the height of the pillars. A crossover is observed between the Wenzel and Cassie−Baxter regimes when the height of the pillar is changed.
