This was a big cool thing, but years later, people find that the surface abrades off and you'd have to reapply to keep it hydrophobic. I just saw an entire pallet of NeverWet at the Dollar Tree Store this month. Probably because the wow factor wore off and people realized the effect is not permanent and not meant to be used on fabrics( or at least not long term, so much for keeping the shoes clean forever, or at least till they out grow 'em?)
It's beacuse of the microscale structure, which is like a Hedgehog. That cause a small outside pressure at the water bubble, which is smaller from the inside water bubble pressure due to the hydrodynamic pressure of the bubble. Due to that the bubble does not reduce its volume or it reduces at a very small amount of the initial volume. The angle that the bubble can be dropped from the surface is a parameter of the microdistance of that small spikes of the Hedgehog structure. I hope i helped a bit. King regards,
The End said it all. It was the Super Hydrophobic water that ran off the shoe. Not the Surface of the Shoe that was Treated.
Cool stuff, but the guy seems totaly disinterested, or just lacking enthusiasm. Oh wel...
Sarah is super cool so it’s ok

What are chemical used to prepare hydrophobic surface
This is not which I need But no problem
Pls add why it happens like that
Marry me, Science Lady!!
i want this under a boat, almost like minimal drag.
there is technology like that mimicking shark skin
4:49 sounds like Baldi
Extremely wonderful. I love it
Y cómo lavo los zapatos?
This is interesting
Tio2
Ssss
What happens if you wash the shoe does the hydrophobic property still hold?
depends on what you use

Amazing
