A stable attachment between bubbles and solid particles is essential for flotation. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to study the dynamic process that occur in the attachment of bubbles to a solid surface. In this paper, Teflon and plexiglass plates were used as hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid surfaces, respectively, and solid surfaces with roughness of 0.018 μm to 5.33 μm were prepared by polishing with sandpaper. The influence of roughness on the dynamic process in bubble attachment to solid surfaces with different hydrophobicity was studied via a high-speed camera (750 frames per second). It was found that roughness played a positive role in the attachment to the hydrophobic Teflon surface while a negative role in the attachment to the hydrophilic plexiglass surface in terms of the bubble's attachment to the solid plates. For a smooth Teflon surface, the formation of three–phase contact (i.e., the drainage of wetting film) took up to 95 ms, whereas for a very rough Teflon surface it took only 5 milliseconds. On the contrary, the high roughness prevented the bubble from attaching to the hydrophilic plexiglass surface. It was concluded that the increased roughness of Teflon plates was conductive to air entrapment in surface irregularities, inducing the rapid rupture of the wetting film on a very rough Teflon surface, while the increased roughness of the plexiglass plates resulted in "water pockets" in surface grooves, making the wetting film on the plexiglass surface stable.
