Designing scalable coatings with a wide spectrum of functions such as liquid repellency,
anticorrosion, and antiflaming and a high level of mechano–chemical–thermal robustness is …

Liquid impingement erosion has been known as mechanical degradation, where the original
material is removed progressively from a solid surface due to continued exposure to impacts …

While ridged, spherical, or cone superhydrophobic surfaces have been extensively utilized
to explore the droplet impact dynamics and the possibility of reducing contact time …

When exposed to air, gallium-based alloys rapidly form a thin oxide layer with viscoelasticity
and high adhesion. Although previous work demonstrated that an oxide layer inhibits liquid …

A droplet impacting hydrophobic surfaces is explored via lattice Boltzmann method
simulations. Dynamics of the spreading and retraction processes of the impacting droplet …

Wind turbine blades and aircraft wings operating in extreme cold environments are prone to
severe ice accretion. The accumulated ice may cause aerodynamic deficiency, lower …

Droplet impacts on solid surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and industry. Before impact, the
droplet shape may be affected by gravity, shear flow, and the electric and magnetic fields …

Drop impact on a dry substrate is ubiquitous in nature and industrial processes, including
aircraft de-icing, ink-jet printing, microfluidics, and additive manufacturing. While the …

Slippery lubricant impregnated surfaces (SLIPSs/LISs) exhibit remarkable features of
repellency and droplet mobility to a broad range of complex fluids. Their performance in …

The self-propelled movement of droplets is essential for numerous applications. To obtain a
microscopic insight on the self-propelling dynamics of droplets, droplet movement under …
