The wetting of solid surfaces using liquid droplets has been studied since the early 1800s.
Thomas Young and Pierre-Simon Laplace investigated the wetting properties, as well as the …

Inkjet printing is considered to be a key technology in the field of defined polymer deposition.
This article provides an introduction to inkjet printing technology and a short overview of the …

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 …

Gallium-based liquid metals are of interest for a variety of applications including flexible
electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. Still, nano-to microscale device fabrication …

When a liquid droplet impacts a hot solid surface, enough vapor may be generated under it
to prevent its contact with the solid. The minimum solid temperature for this so-called …

Technologies including (3D-)(bio-) printing, diesel engines, laser-induced forward transfer,
and spray cleaning require optimization and therefore understanding of micrometer-sized …

This paper reports on an experimental study of the impact of water droplets on a solid
substrate, with a droplet radius between 18 and 42 m. We optically measured the interface …

Droplet impact has been imaged on different rigid, smooth, and rough substrates for three
liquids with different viscosity and surface tension, with special attention to the lower impact …

This comparative review highlights the relationships between the disciplines of bloodstain
pattern analysis (BPA) in forensics and that of fluid dynamics (FD) in the physical sciences …

We have studied the stability of ink-jet printed lines of liquid with zero receding contact angle
on a homogeneous substrate. Such lines can become unstable by forming a series of liquid …
