Super-hydrophobicity is attractive due to their special functions. Fluoride reagents are widely
used to fabricate super-hydrophobic coatings by reducing surface free energy. Previous …

Controlling and predicting the motion of droplets on a heterogeneous substrate have
received widespread attention. In this paper, we numerically simulate the droplet sliding …

Droplet manipulation has emerged as a key enabling technology in various scientific and
engineering fields with great potentials in advanced applications such as bioanalysis and …

The physics of fluid laminar flow through an idealised deutosternum assembly is used for the
first time to review predatory feeding designs over 72 different-sized example species from …

A methodical analysis on the dynamic interaction behavior between a pair of uneven sized
ferrofluid droplets freely falling under gravity and uniform magnetic fields is presented in this …

Sliding droplets on an inclined substrate may deposit a residual liquid termed as pearling.
This three-dimensional mechanism can be observed even on near-perfect surfaces, and it is …

Experiments were performed to measure the velocities of droplets propagating on the
bottom of an upward inclined pipe when exposed to air shear flow. Effects of the droplets' …

Developing simple methods to suppress the coffee-ring effect without modifying colloidal
suspensions (eg, inherent properties of the solute or solvent) is critical for related industrial …

When a drop sheds from a surface, the drag given by the shear flow balances the adhesion.
But during shedding, ie, when the drop is in motion, two more resisting shear, wedge shear …

This study explores the growth of bacteria on zirconia and alumina, two ceramics commonly
used in biomaterials, using a laser to prepare these surfaces for bacterial cultivation. We …
