The revealing of the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity (the "e;lotus-effect"e;) has stimulated an interest in wetting of real (rough and chemically heterogeneous) surfaces.
Percolation theory describes the effects of the connectivity of microscopic or small-scale elements of a complex medium to its macroscopic or large-scale properties.
