Sliding of water droplets on microstructured hydrophobic surfaces.
Sliding behaviors of liquid droplets on solid surfaces are among the fundamental results of wettability. To remedy the lack of quantitative correlation between sliding angle and roughness of the surface, which is known to be effective at enhancing wettability, we report in this paper the observation that the onset of water droplets sliding under gravity on inclined micropillar-structured hydrop...
متن کاملDroplet evaporation on heated hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces.
The evaporation characteristics of sessile water droplets on smooth hydrophobic and structured superhydrophobic heated surfaces are experimentally investigated. Droplets placed on the hierarchical superhydrophobic surface subtend a very high contact angle (∼160°) and demonstrate low roll-off angle (∼1°), while the hydrophobic substrate supports corresponding values of 120° and ∼10°. The substra...
متن کاملHydrophobic Non-fouling Surfaces for Droplet Based Microfluidic Bioanalytical Systems
This paper presents the principle, fabricated structure, characterization and results obtained for a new class of surfaces—“hydrophobic non-fouling surfaces”—for droplet-based microfluidics. Building on the theory of wetting of rough surfaces, we have developed novel surfaces which are chemically hydrophilic, i.e., the droplet is in contact with a non-fouling hydrophilic material but exhibits h...
متن کاملElectrowetting-based control of droplet transition and morphology on artificially microstructured surfaces.
Electrowetting (EW) has recently been demonstrated as a powerful tool for controlling droplet morphology on smooth and artificially structured surfaces. The present work involves a systematic experimental investigation of the influence of electrowetting in determining and altering the state of a static droplet resting on an artificially microstructured surface. Extensive experimentation is carr...
متن کاملDroplet migration on hydrophobic–hydrophilic hybrid surfaces: a lattice Boltzmann study
In this paper, the fundamental features and mechanism of droplet migration on hydrophobic–hydrophilic hybrid surfaces are investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The hybrid surfaces are textured with pillars, which consist of hydrophobic side walls and hydrophilic tops. First, we study the cases with wettability differences between the sides and the tops of the pillars. It is found tha...
