Is contact-line mobility a material parameter?

Jonathan M. Ludwicki et al.

Summary: This article investigates the joint experimental and numerical study of water droplets on surfaces with different wetting properties. By comparing the data from experiments and numerical simulations, it is found that the Davis-Hocking model with the measured mobility parameter performs better in describing wetting phenomena.

Approaches to design a surface with tunable wettability: a review on surface properties

C. G. Jothi Prakash et al.

Summary: This article explores the wide application prospects of surface wettability in energy harvesting, conversion, and emission control technology, focusing on the recent interest in altering surface wettability through nanomaterial fabrication and coating. Surface properties such as roughness, surface energy, porosity, capillarity, and structure play a major role in changing the wettability of liquids over surfaces, with surface chemistry being a key factor in inducing wettability alteration. Surface pre- and post-treatments like laser, ozone plasma, and UV irradiation contribute to changes in surface energy, leading to superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity.

Rebound of large jets from superhydrophobic surfaces in low gravity

Karl Cardin et al.

Summary: The experimental investigation on large liquid jet rebound following oblique jet impacts on superhydrophobic substrates shows the dependence of flow structure on dimensionless groups such as Reynolds number and Weber number. Simple models are developed to predict landing geometry and instability onset, which yield good agreement with experiments and simulations, indicating new transport capabilities.

Why Are Water Droplets Highly Mobile on Nanostructured Oil-Impregnated Surfaces?

Chengcheng Zhang et al.

Summary: The research found that molecular interactions between two contacting liquids can be manipulated by implementing nanostructured substrates, leading to water repellency and addressing the issue of oil depletion. This offers insights into the molecular principles for controlling nanostructures to improve the performance of slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS).
