As one of the nanogenerators which exploit the potential of the water cycle, a droplet-based
electricity generator (DEG) has recently been leading the research field due to its high …

The impact of droplets on textured or rough surfaces has garnered remarkable appreciation
due to its multifarious applications such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, and anti-fouling, leading …

In this paper, we perform an experimental study of droplet impact on a partially wetting
hydrophilic substrate composed of cylindrical micro-pillars. Water and glycerol are mixed at …

Rose petals exhibit a phenomenal wetting property of being sticky and superhydrophobic
simultaneously. A recent study has shown that for short timescales, associated with drop …

Previous studies revealed that the perpendicular impact of low-viscosity droplets on
sufficiently lyophobic surfaces would stimulate a liquid jet during droplet recoiling, and in …

Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces have gained wide popularity due to their
potential in various areas such as in self-cleaning and anti-fouling materials, drag reduction …

Droplet-wall interactions are well known to generate a wide variety of outcomes such as
spreading, splashing, receding, jetting, and rebounding. In this paper, we focus on the …

The spreading of the water droplets falling on surfaces with a contact angle from 0 to 160°
was investigated in this work. Superhydrophilicity of the surface is achieved by laser …

Droplet im**ement on leaf surfaces is a common phenomenon in the spray application
process. Most im**ements have focused on droplet deposition behavior on stationary leaf …

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are soft phase-changing solids that exhibit large reversible
contractions upon heating, Goldstone-like soft modes, and resultant microstructural …
