A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

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 …

Abstract Characterization of surface wettability plays an integral role in physical, chemical,
and biological processes. However, the conventional fitting algorithms are not suitable for …

Ice accumulation poses a series of severe issues in daily life. Inspired by the nature,
superwettability surfaces have attracted great interests from fundamental research to anti …

Droplet impact is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, daily life, and industrial processes. It
is thus crucial to tune the impact outcomes for various applications. As a special outcome of …

This paper reports an experimental investigation on the impact dynamics of droplets (water,
decane, ethanol, and tetradecane) onto a flat stainless steel surface, using high-speed …

Liquid mobility on super-wettable materials is of interest for enhanced heat transfer, self-
cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-icing, water-harvesting, and oil–water separation. Here, we …

Over the past decades, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using aqueous urea sprays as
ammonia precursor has become the prevalent technique for NO x emission control in mobile …

The development of bioinspired interfacial materials with enhanced drop mobility that mimic
the innate functionalities of nature will have a significant impact on the energy, environment …

Drop impact onto surfaces has long been a popular and important subject of experimental,
numerical and theoretical studies to explain phenomena observed both in nature and in …
