We stress the “special” behaviours generated by these decorations, and more particularly:\\ (i) the generation of enhanced hydrophobicity;\\ (ii) the propagation of liquid films inside the texture;\\ (iii) the special patterns observed with impacting drops.\\ We also discuss the contact angle hysteresis on such hydrophobic solids, which achieve a very favourable system for studying this important practical property, responsible for the sticking of liquids on solids.
