A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of droplets undergoing collisions with solid
surfaces is required in a number of technological and industrial situations. Recently, a new …

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are cutting-edge technology that converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy through contact electrification (CE). The CE process involves …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting systems serve as advanced manufacturing
platform for the precise deposition of cells and biomaterials at pre-defined positions. Among …

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the impact dynamics of different viscous
droplets on solid surfaces with diverse wettabilities. We show that the outcome of an …

The energy budget and dissipation mechanisms during droplet impact on solid surfaces are
studied numerically and theoretically. We find that for high impact velocities and negligible …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have shown great application prospects due to their excellent
water repellency in many applications involving fluid–surface interactions. As a ubiquitous …

Based on the energy conservation approach, this study develops a universal model to
predict the maximum spreading factor of liquid droplet impact on a smooth solid surface …

Whether a droplet splashes upon impact onto a solid is known to depend not only on the
fluid properties and its speed, but also on the substrate characteristics. Past research has …

Existing energy balance models, which estimate maximum droplet spreading, insufficiently
capture the droplet spreading from low to high Weber and Reynolds numbers and contact …

Drops impacting on a flat solid surface will spread until it reaches maximum contact with the
substrate underneath. After that, it recoils. In the present work, the variations of energy …
