Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces)(LIS) are a new class of functional
materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the …

Droplet impact is a ubiquitous liquid behavior that closely tied to human life and production,
making indispensable impacts on the big world. Nature‐inspired superhydrophobic surfaces …

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 …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of published literatures concerning the fluid
mechanics and heat transfer mechanisms of liquid drop impact on a heated wall. The review …

Dynamic variables of drop impact such as force, drag, pressure, and stress distributions are
key to understanding a wide range of natural and industrial processes. While the study of …

Engineering surfaces that promote rapid drop detachment, is of importance to a wide range
of applications including anti-icing,,, dropwise condensation and self-cleaning,,. Here we …

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 …

A falling liquid drop, after impact on a rigid substrate, deforms and spreads, owing to the
normal reaction force. Subsequently, if the substrate is nonwetting, the drop retracts and …

Surfaces designed so that drops do not adhere to them but instead bounce off have received
substantial attention because of their ability to stay dry,,,, self-clean,, and resist icing,,. A drop …

Undesired ice accumulation leads to severe economic issues and, in some cases, loss of
lives. Although research on anti-icing has been carried out for decades, environmentally …
