Biological systems have evolved over billions of years to develop wetting strategies for
advantageous structure–property–performance relations that are crucial for their survival …

This paper reviews the past and recent studies on thermocapillarity in relation to
microfluidics. The role of thermocapillarity as the change of surface tension due to …

Surfactants are employed in microfluidic systems not just for drop stabilisation, but also to
study local phenomena in industrial processes. On the scale of a single drop, these include …

This review examines different stages of the coalescence process of liquid drops on a planar
interface under different conditions. Depending on the application, drops coalescence under …

Mixing and spreading of different liquids are omnipresent in nature, life and technology,
such as oil pollution on the sea,, estuaries, food processing, cosmetic and beverage …

The impact of droplets on a deep pool has applications in cleaning up oil spills, spray
cooling, painting, inkjet printing, and forensic analysis, relying on the changes in properties …

When a drop merges with its homophase, a liquid cylinder appears in certain conditions,
which is pinched off leading to partial coalescence. We investigate the process …

Over the last years several studies have been conducted to understand emulsion formation
and its behavior. In some applications, the aim is the phase separation of the emulsions …

A bubble reaching an air–liquid interface usually bursts and forms a liquid jet. Jetting is
relevant to climate and health as it is a source of aerosol droplets from breaking waves …

Certain aquatic insects rapidly traverse water by secreting surfactants that exploit the
Marangoni effect, inspiring the development of many self-propulsion systems. In this …
