We estimated the Advancing, Receding and Most-Stable contact angles and we identified the transition from a homogeneous wetting regime (Wenzel) to a hybrid wetting regime (Cassie-Baxter). Using a modified Cassie-Baxter equation which considers the chemical heterogeneity of the samples, we were able to determine the solid area fraction within the contact area. This way, we designed a methodology to identify the superhydrophobic degree of rough-hydrophobic surfaces.}, organization = {This research was supported by the projects: MAT2014-60615-R and MAT2017-82182-R funded by the State Research Agency (SRA) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).}, publisher = {ELSEVIER}, title = {Evaluation of the solid-liquid contact area fraction of drops deposited on rough surfaces beyond the Wenzel regime}, doi = {j.colsurfa.2019.02.047}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2019.02.047}, author = {Montes Ruiz-Cabello, Francisco Javier and Cabrerizo Vílchez, Miguel Ángel and Rodríguez Valverde, Miguel Ángel}, }
