**Abstract**

Wettability has been explored for 100 years since it is described by Young's equation in 1805. It is all known that hydrophilicity means contact angle (*θ*), *θ <* 90°; hydrophobicity means contact angle (*θ*), *θ >* 90°. The utilization of both hydrophilic surfaces and hydrophobic surfaces has also been achieved in both academic and practical perspectives. In order to understand the wettability of a droplet distributed on the textured surfaces, the relevant models are reviewed along with understanding the formation of contact angle and how it is affected by the roughness of the textured surface aiming to obtain the required surface without considering whether the original material is hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
