In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Surface wetting is a multiscale phenomenon where properties at the macroscale are
determined by features at much smaller length scales, such as nanoscale surface …

It has been known for more than 200 years that the maximum static friction force between
two solid surfaces is usually greater than the kinetic friction force—the force that is required …

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of droplets undergoing collisions with solid
surfaces is required in a number of technological and industrial situations. Recently, a new …

Recently, there has been much interest in using lubricated surfaces to achieve extreme
liquid repellency: a foreign droplet immiscible with the underlying lubricant layer was shown …

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 …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are often seen as frictionless materials, on which water is highly
mobile. Understanding the nature of friction for such water-repellent systems is central to …

Droplet impact dynamics is an interfacial phenomenon that is shown everywhere in nature
and is the underlying of numerous technological applications including bio-printing, tissue …

Wetting imperfections are omnipresent on surfaces. They cause contact angle hysteresis
and determine the wetting dynamics. Still, existing techniques (eg, contact angle …

Charge trapping is a long‐standing problem in electrowetting on dielectric, causing
reliability reduction and restricting its practical applications. Although this phenomenon is …
