Self-Propulsion of Chemically Active Droplets

Sebastien Michelin

Summary: Microscopic active droplets swim autonomously in viscous flows by exploiting solute transport and self-generated Marangoni flows. They are of great interest to physicists, chemists, biologists, and fluid dynamicists for analyzing self-propulsion and collective dynamics, developing cellular models, or performing biomedical and engineering applications. This review focuses on the recent developments of these fascinating droplets, including mathematical and physical modeling, experimental design, and characterization.

Peculiar encounter between self-propelled droplet and static droplet: swallow, rerouting, and recoil

Yu-Ming Huang et al.

Summary: Understanding the outcome and mechanism of droplet-droplet collision is important in digital microfluidics. The collision process between a self-propelled droplet and another static liquid droplet was observed. Four interesting outcomes were identified: swallow-and-run, swallow-run-pinning, rerouting-and-run, and recoil-and-run. The behavior depends on the miscibility of the droplets and can be explained by spreading coefficients and interfacial tension gradients.

Droplet Spreading Characteristics on Ultra-Slippery Solid Hydrophilic Surfaces with Ultra-Low Contact Angle Hysteresis

Yajie Song et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the dynamic interactions of droplets impacting on solid surfaces and specifically explores the factors influencing the spreading characteristics of droplets on ultra-slippery hydrophilic surfaces. The results show that the contact angle and We have a significant impact on the maximum spreading factor of droplets; low contact angle hysteresis can decrease the time required to reach the maximum spreading diameter and the time interval at which it is maintained; an increase in inclination angle and We leads to longer gliding distance of the impacting droplet, and ultra-low contact angle hysteresis allows the droplet to continuously slip on the ultra-slippery hydrophilic surface.

Dynamics of a partially wetting droplet under wind and gravity

Summary: Investigated the stability of partially wetting water drops under the combined forcing of wind and gravity, and discovered a clear deviation in the critical flow velocity between upwind and downwind scenarios as the droplet size increased.

Precursor film of self-propelled droplets: Inducing motion of a static droplet

Hsin-Jou Huang et al.

Summary: The addition of Silwet L-77 surfactant into the droplet of acids changes the wetting behavior from spreading to random motion. Self-propelled droplet motion can be achieved on a coated polysilazane linear runway. Two methods, namely color change of nearby water droplets and noncontact interaction observation using an optical microscope, are proposed to observe the precursor film and self-running droplet. The interfacial tension gradient and Marangoni stress between the precursor film and static droplet may explain this interesting finding.

Near-critical spreading of droplets

Raphael Saiseau et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spreading of droplets in a near-critical phase-separated liquid mixture. The researchers verified the robustness of Tanner's law, which describes the spreading of viscous droplets, when the critical temperature is neared. It was also found that the precursor film thickness decreases when approaching the critical temperature.

Spontaneous Movement of a Droplet on a Conical Substrate: Theoretical Analysis of the Driving Force

Jianxin Liu et al.

Summary: Experiments and simulations have shown that droplets can spontaneously and directionally move on conical substrates due to the driving force originating from the gradient of curvatures. Most theoretical analyses are based on a perturbative theory, assuming weakly curved substrates, which is valid only when the droplet size is much smaller than the curvature radius of the substrate. In this paper, we derive a more accurate analytical model for describing the driving force by exploring the geometric characteristics of a spherical droplet on a cylindrical substrate. Our model is valid under a weaker condition, allowing for closer proximity between the droplet and the apex of a conical substrate. This research opens up new avenues for theoretically studying droplet behavior on conical substrates and provides guidance for experimental design to control the directional motion of droplets on curved surfaces.

Impact Forces of Water Drops Falling on Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Bin Zhang et al.

Summary: A liquid drop deforms and spreads on a rigid substrate after impact, and it can retract and jump off if the substrate is nonwetting. This study reveals distinct peaks in the temporal evolution of the normal force during impact and the previously unknown jump-off process. The second peak coincides with the formation of a Worthington jet.

Directed self-propulsion of droplets on surfaces absent of gradients for cargo transport

Ssu-Wei Hu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that long-ranged transport of droplets on surfaces can be achieved by adding surfactants and creating deep grooves. The droplets can move over 20 cm and the method is applicable to various substrate materials and liquids, leading to the development of a convenient platform for liquid cargos transport.

Steering droplets on substrates using moving steps in wettability

Josua Grawitter et al.

Summary: In this study, a boundary-element method was used to simulate the movement of droplets on substrates with spatio-temporal wettability patterns. It was found that droplets move towards higher wettability regions in step profile wettability patterns and a feedback loop can maintain a constant velocity for droplets surfing on wettability steps.
