Silicone is frequently used as a model system to investigate and tune wetting on soft
materials. Silicone is biocompatible and shows excellent thermal, chemical, and UV stability …

The spreading dynamics of a droplet of pure liquid deposited on a rigid, nonsoluble
substrate has been extensively investigated. In a purely hydrodynamic description, the …

Drops in contact with swollen, elastomeric substrates can induce a capillary mediated phase
separation in wetting ridges. Using confocal microscopy, we visualize phase separation of …

Soft substrates enhance droplet nucleation during water vapor condensation because their
deformability inherently reduces the energetic threshold for heterogeneous nucleation …

We study the equilibrium properties and the wetting behavior of a simple liquid on a polymer
brush, with and without the presence of lubricant by multibody Dissipative Particle Dynamics …

Drops are exceptionally mobile on lubricant-infused surfaces, yet they exhibit fundamentally
different dynamics than on traditional superhydrophobic surfaces due to the formation of a …

Electret filter media has been considered as the most effective and economical filtration
material due to its additional electrostatic filtration effect. However, the regeneration and …

It is generally assumed that contact angle hysteresis of superhydrophobic surfaces scales
with liquid–solid contact fraction, however, its experimental verification has been …

The friction force opposing the onset of motion of a drop on a solid surface is typically
considered to be a material property for a fixed drop volume on a given surface. However …

We experimentally investigated the coalescence-induced droplet-particle jum**
phenomenon on a submillimeter scale in symmetric and asymmetric particle arrangements …
