Abstract
⺠As-grown ZnO nanostructures are highly hydrophobic: CA is in range 90-127°. ⺠UV irradiation of ZnO nanostructures causes the change of their wettability character. ⺠Contrast and time of wettability change depend on the ZnO surface morphology. ⺠Both micro- and nano-roughness enhance the current wettability character. ⺠Complex structures (micro + nano rough) have the most outstanding wettability properties.
