I don't understand why materials with low surface energy are hydrophobic and viceversa. All I can find are quick phenomenological explanations that don't quite deal with the physical (microscopic) process going on.
Could anyone provide a good microscopic picture of why it is that way? What's the role of the bonds in the material and how does it interact with the liquid to make it (or not) spread?
