Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

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 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 …

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 …

Spray–wall interaction is an important process encountered in a large number of existing
and emerging technologies and is the underlying phenomenon associated with spray …

Jetting-based bioprinting facilitates contactless drop-on-demand deposition of subnanoliter
droplets at well-defined positions to control the spatial arrangement of cells, growth factors …

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 …

The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical
importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular …

Ice accumulation poses a series of severe issues in daily life. Inspired by the nature,
superwettability surfaces have attracted great interests from fundamental research to anti …

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 …
