Droplet deposition on superhydrophobic surfaces has been a great challenge owing to the
shortness of the impact contact time. Despite recent research progress regarding flat …

Pesticide spray droplets can damage ecological environments and negatively affect
biodiversity if they reach nontarget areas. Effective retention of pesticide droplets on plant …

How to restrain the bounce behavior of droplets on hydrophobic surfaces is a problem in
daily life, especially during pesticide spraying. Adding polymer is a constructive strategy to …

Much of the science underpinning the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic lies in the
soft matter domain. Coronaviruses are composite particles with a core of nucleic acids …

We propose an adaptive numerical solver for the study of viscoelastic 2D two-phase flows
using the volume-of-fluid method. The scheme uses the robust log conformation tensor …

Despite small-molecule surfactants and polymers being widely used as pesticide adjuvants
to inhibit droplet bouncing and splashing, they still have intrinsic drawbacks either in the …

Purpose Graphene-polymer nanocomposites significantly impact dental filler and
antibacterial applications. The study aims to overcome some problems dental filers present …

The effects of viscoelasticity on drop impact and spreading on a flat solid surface are studied
computationally using a finite-difference–front-tracking method. The finitely extensible …

The impact of fluid drops on solid substrates has widespread interest in many industrial
coating and spraying applications, such as ink-jet printing and agricultural pesticide sprays …

DNA, as natural polymers, not only serves as the genetic material but also shows great
potential as assistants for efficient and targeted nanoparticle separation. This is due to its …
