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

Polymerization of ionic liquids results in the formation of ionic polymers, which are called
poly (ionic liquid) s or polymerized ionic liquids (PIL). This is a brand new form of ionicity in …

The revealing of the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity (the" lotus-effect") has stimulated
an interest in wetting of real (rough and chemically heterogeneous) surfaces. In spite of the …

A digital microfluidic platform manipulates droplets on an open surface. Magnetic digital
microfluidics utilizes magnetic forces for actuation and offers unique advantages compared …

The ability of particles to adhere to a fluid–fluid interface can stabilize the formation of an
emulsion. When the encapsulated fluid is a liquid and the fluid in which it is immersed is air …

Remote control of the locomotion of small objects is a challenge in itself and may also allow
for the stimuli control of entire systems. Here, it is described how encapsulated liquids …

Liquid marbles are nonstick droplets wrapped by micro-or nanometrically scaled colloidal
particles, representing a platform for a variety of chemical, biological, and microfluidics …

The paper summarizes 10-years of experience gained by various groups in the study of
liquid marbles. Liquid marbles are non-stick droplets wrapped by micro-or nanometrically …

Droplet manipulation has found broad applications in various engineering and biomedical
fields, such as biochemistry, microfluidic systems, drug delivery, and tissue engineering …

Over the last decades, a fabulous variety of synthetic superhydrophobic surfaces have been
created, offering unique anti-wetting properties. A significant focus for these surfaces has …
