In this thesis, we investigated the influence of the microstructure of an aluminum superhydrophobic surface on the wetting, rebound, and evaporation of a water droplet. Laser-structured and hydrophobized samples with different channel depths and spacings were produced, and their influence on the selected parameters was analyzed. All samples exhibited superhydrophobicity. Rebound efficiency decreased with increasing Weber number, the maximum spreading coefficient increased, while the contact time did not change significantly. Deeper and denser channels prolonged evaporation.
