a), the contact angle decreases sharply first and then approaches to a constant value, while the drop base radius increase linearly with Ra. Spreading of the liquid alloy on rough surface combined two modes: on top of the rough surface and inside the capillary grooves. The wetting kinetics for both modes follow the power law relationship. The driving force of flowing on the top of the rough surface follows the basic Young’s equation, while an additional driving force of capillary force exists when flow inside the micro v-grooves, leading to a decrease in final contact angle and consequently a better wettability."/>
