Multiple droplets on a conical fiber: formation, motion, and droplet mergers
Carmen L. Lee, Tak Shing Chan, Andreas Carlson +1
Small droplets on slender conical fibers spontaneously move along the fiber due to capillary action. The droplet motion depends on the geometry of the cone, the surface wettability…

Film coating by directional droplet spreading on fibers
Tak Shing Chan, Carmen L. Lee, Christian Pedersen +2
Plants and insects use slender conical structures to transport and collect small droplets, which are propelled along the conical structures due to capillary action. These droplets…
