II II Abstract Superhydrophobicity of biological surfaces has recently been studied intensively with the aim to design ideal artificial surfaces. It has been revealed that nearly all the superhydrophobic surfaces consist of the intrinsic hierarchical structures. However, the effects of different geometrical parameters for a multi-scale of hierarchical structure on its wettability and the physical mechanism have not been completely understood. In particular, there are hardly any theoretical studies to investigate quantitatively the thermodynamic mechanisms for the unique role of such hierarchical structures in superhydrophobic behavior. In this study, different scales hierarchical structures have been thermodynamically analyzed using a 2-D model. The free energy (FE) and free energy barrier (FEB) for the composite wetting states of different scales hierarchical structures are calculated respectively, and the effects of different scales hierarchical structures, relative pillar height (hr), relative pillar width (ar) on contact angle (CA) and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) have been investigated in detail. Finally, equilibrium contact angle, advancing angle, receding angle and its hysteresis for various orientations of the dual- roughness microstructure are calculated based on the proposed thermodynamic model. We discuss anisotropic wetting behavior for dual-roughness structure and the effects of vibration energy. The main contents and results are followed as: Different scales hierarchical structures have been thermodynamically analyzed using a 2-D model. The results show that from different enlarging curves of FEB, we can see that the nano- to micro- structures of such surfaces can split a large FEB into many small ones and hence can decrease FEB. For extremely small droplets, the secondary or third structure (i.e., submicrostructure or nanostructure) can play a dominant role in resisting the droplets into troughs, so that a composite state can be always thermodynamic
