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 …

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 …

Icing of surfaces is commonplace in nature and technology, affecting everyday life and
sometimes causing catastrophic events. Understanding (and counteracting) surface icing …

In this paper, an anti-icing coating with an aqueous lubricating layer is reported. This anti-
icing coating can be directly applied to various substrates, and the ice adhesion strength on …

Droplet impact is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, daily life, and industrial processes. It
is thus crucial to tune the impact outcomes for various applications. As a special outcome of …

Droplet impacting on solid or liquid interfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.
Although complete rebound of droplets is widely observed on superhydrophobic surfaces …

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 …

The development of bioinspired interfacial materials with enhanced drop mobility that mimic
the innate functionalities of nature will have a significant impact on the energy, environment …

The power of the directional and spontaneous transport of liquid droplets is revealed
through ubiquitous biological processes and numerous practical applications, where …
