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 …

Droplet-droplet collisions occur in many spray systems. The collision of two spherical
droplets in a gas is considered in terms of the five primary phenomenological outcomes …

Droplet impacting on solid or liquid interfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.
Although complete rebound of droplets is widely observed on superhydrophobic surfaces …

The impingement of drops onto solid surfaces, plays a crucial role in a variety of processes,
including inkjet printing, fog harvesting, anti-icing, dropwise condensation and spray …

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 …

Understanding the interaction of supercooled metastable water with superhydrophobic
surface textures is of fundamental significance for unraveling the mechanisms of icing as …

Although the impingement of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces has been extensively
studied, the critical role of the air is typically ignored, leading to some paradoxical …

Hypothesis The solid fraction of the substrate is expected to influence the bouncing behavior
of an impinging droplet, thereby affecting spreading and contact time. Hence, it should be …

Drops are well known to rebound from superhydrophobic surfaces and from liquid surfaces.
Here, we show that drops can also rebound from a superhydrophilic solid surface such as …
