Water condensation on surfaces is a ubiquitous phase-change process that plays a crucial
role in nature and across a range of industrial applications, including energy production …

We present a comprehensive study of water drops sliding down chemically heterogeneous
surfaces formed by a periodic pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes …

Concentrating impacting droplets onto a localized hotspot and inducing them to remain in a
preferential heat transfer mode is essential for efficient thermal management such as spray …

ABSTRACT A droplet chain technique was used to study the influence of the crystallization
process on the morphology of spray dried microparticles. A piezoceramic dispenser …

The particle formation process for microparticles of cellulose acetate butyrate dried from an
acetone solution was investigated experimentally and theoretically. A monodisperse droplet …

Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital
analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typically …

We perform a joint numerical and experimental study to systematically characterize the
motion of 30 μ l drops of pure water and of ethanol in water solutions, sliding over a periodic …

We have studied the motion of liquid drops on an inclined plate subject to vertical vibrations.
The liquids comprised distilled water and different aqueous solutions of glycerol, ethanol …

In order to study the influence of surface chemistry on the wetting of structured surfaces,
microstructures consisting of grooves or squares were produced via hot embossing of poly …

We report the results of extensive experimental studies of the sliding of water drops on
chemically heterogeneous surfaces formed by square and triangular hydrophobic domains …
