  text: Monodisperse micron-sized silica particle monolayers deposited onto plasma-grown
    SiOx-ultra-thin films have been used as reference systems to investigate wetting,
    water adsorption and capillary bridge formation as a function of silica surface
    functionalization. 1H,1H, 2H,2H perfluorooctyltriethoxysil (FOTS) monolayers,
    have been deposited on the respective surfaces by means of chemical vapor deposition
    resulting in macroscopically low energy surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
    (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflection absorption spectroscopy
    confirmed the monolayer formation. Water adsorption isotherms were studied by
    a combination of in-situ FTIR reflection spectroscopy and quartz crystal microbalance
    (QCM) while macroscopic wetting was analysed by contact angle measurements. The
    comparative data evaluation indicates that the macroscopic wetting behaviour was
    changed as expected, however, that water nanodroplets formed both at intrinsic
    defects of the FOTS monolayer and at the FOTS/SiOx interface. Capillary bridges
    of liquid water are dominantly formed in the confined particle contact areas and
    between surface asperities on the particles. The comparison of wetting, adsorption
    and capillary bridge formation shows that the hydrophobization of porous materials
    by organosilane monolayers leads to the formation of morphology dependent nanoscopic
    defects that act as sites for preferential capillary bridge formation.
