Hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity are properties of surfaces, and arise from interactions between the surface and water.

Changing the chemical molecules on a surface can modify the material’s surface properties, e.g. hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.

3D nanostructure coatings, engineered and found in nature, can modify the material’s surface properties, e.g. hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.

Nano-scale metal particles can be deposited on surfaces via oxidation-reduction of the appropriate ionic solutions.

|
Surface properties, such as hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, can be measured by the contact angle of a water droplet formed on a surface.
