Abstract: The fluid guiding surfaces of the present invention include a first elongate directional band A arranged substantially in parallel with a second elongate directional band B. Due to differences in physicochemical surface energy of the first and second bands, the contact angle of water on elongate directional band B may be smaller than the contact angle of water on elongate directional band A, thereby guiding fluid droplets along the surface in a direction parallel to elongate directional band B. For example, the difference 74 A??B between a first contact angle of water on elongate directional band A, and a second contact angle of water on elongate directional band B, is from about 10° to about 140°.
