Improved Liquid Collection on a Dual-Asymmetric Superhydrophilic Origami

Haoyu Bai et al.

Summary: Manipulating fluid with an open channel simplifies systems, but on-surface fluid transport remains challenging. Inspired by scallop shells, a shell-like superhydrophilic origami with multiple channels is presented to improve fluid collection and transport. The origami can capture and transport various types of liquids unidirectionally, with a maximum flux five times that of a flat surface. Additionally, a superhydrophobic coating is integrated for enhanced condensation, resulting in a 56% improvement in efficiency compared to unmodified origami.

Optically Guided Pyroelectric Manipulation of Water Droplet on a Superhydrophobic Surface

Weishan Yan et al.

Summary: Controlled droplet manipulation using photothermally induced pyroelectric effects on a super-hydrophobic surface allows for versatile functionalities, including droplet deformation, jetting, splitting, and guided motion by adjusting the laser incident angle. The method offers potential applications in remote droplet control, with capabilities for contactless, electrodeless, and precise spatial and fast temporal control. The distribution of pyroelectric charges plays a crucial role in the process, with evenly distributed charges promoting hydrophobic to hydrophilic transitions and localized charges enabling droplet shape control.

Digital Microfluidics: Magnetic Transportation and Coalescence of Sessile Droplets on Hydrophobic Surfaces

Md Rifat Hassan et al.

Summary: Magnetic digital microfluidics, utilizing magnetic forces for droplet manipulation, shows unique dynamic behaviors of sessile droplets on hydrophobic surfaces. The study reveals that on superhydrophobic surfaces, nonuniform magnetic fields induce droplets to merge and jump off after coalescence, while on less hydrophobic surfaces, droplets still coalesce but do not exhibit upward flight post-merger.
