Droplet impact behaviours are widely applied in a variety of domains including self-cleaning,
painting and coating, corrosion of turbine blades and aircraft, separation and oil repellency …

The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

We review existing explanations for drop pinning and the origin of the force required to
initiate the sliding of a drop on a solid surface (depinning). Theories that describe these …

A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by the three-phase contact line and characterized by contact angle …

A contact angle observed for a liquid-solid system is not necessarily a unique value and a
few different contact angles need to be carefully considered in relation to liquid spreading …

Collecting microscale water droplets suspended in the wind, that is, fog, using permeable
surfaces is a promising solution to the worldwide problem of water scarcity and is of great …

We report the effect of airborne hydrocarbon contamination on the water wettability of
graphite. Graphite is traditionally known to be hydrophobic with water contact angle (WCA) …

Droplet dynamics and condensation phenomena are widespread in nature and industrial
applications, and the fundamentals of various technological applications. Currently, with the …

Wetting phenomena and superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and have
recently been explored widely in scientific and engineering applications. The understanding …

Elucidating the intrinsic water wettability of the graphitic surface has increasingly attracted
research interests, triggered by the recent finding that the well-established hydrophobicity of …
