The growing demands for superhydrophobic materials in real-world applications, such as
anti-icing, heat management, and energy harvesting, cannot be met by solely considering …

Droplet impact on a flexible substrate is a prevalent phenomenon in nature and various
advanced technologies such as soft bio-printing, tissue engineering, smart biomaterials and …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have shown great application prospects due to their excellent
water repellency in many applications involving fluid–surface interactions. As a ubiquitous …

Droplet deposition on superhydrophobic surfaces has been a great challenge owing to the
shortness of the impact contact time. Despite recent research progress regarding flat …

Based on the energy conservation approach, this study develops a universal model to
predict the maximum spreading factor of liquid droplet impact on a smooth solid surface …

Ice accumulation on exposed surfaces is unavoidable as time elapses and the temperature
decreases sufficiently. To mitigate icing problems, various types of icephobic substrates …

Superhydrophobic coatings and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have
shown their potentials in self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-erosion, and antibiofouling …

The rebound of liquid droplets on solid surfaces exhibits behavior reminiscent of elastic
spheres, albeit with distinct contact dynamics. While the rapid detachment of droplets from …

Although a superhydrophobic surface could realize rapid rebounding (ie., short contact time)
of an orthogonal impacting droplet, the rebounding along the original impacting route may …

Although droplet retraction is involved in many applications, it receives less attention than
droplet spreading. We present a detailed study of the retraction dynamics for water droplets …
