Many industrial applications highlight the importance of the wetting properties of metallic surfaces related to their adhesion phenomena. Wenzel's (1936) and Cassie - Baxter's (1944) independent works showed that the wettability depended on both the surface tension of the solid but also on its surface topography. Thus the control and optimization of these properties require control of both aspects, like the lotus leaf whose superhydrophobic character lies in the presence of a hydrophobic wax and a multi-scale roughness. These observations are at the origin of the development of chemical etching techniques to produce surface texturing of materials and control their wettability. To overcome some limitations of these techniques and focus on a ...
