I would like to have seen it dipped. Also demonstrated with contaminated water of some kind, maybe flour & water paste.
He states it would not degrade, but surely expansion and contraction will take a toll on nanoscale etchings, as well as abrasion and acid content of airborne contaminants.
The surface, upon visual inspection in the video looks rough. What happens say if the surface is regularly in contact with skin during a practical application? Does the skin get abraded into the microstructure of the material surface and degrade its hydrophobic properties?
Looks amazing though watching the water spread out and spring back that much. Simply incredible.

A great achievement.

Yeah, I'm very curious about the degradation behaviour, especially abrasion.
