Multiple Equilibria Enables Tunable Wetting of Droplets on Patterned Liquid Surfaces
Xitong Zhang, Hongyu Zhao, Jack R. Panter +4
Patterning solid surfaces with varying wettability is important to manage droplets in microfluidics, heat transfer and printing. Solid surface roughness poses fundamental limitatio…
Transforming Siliconization into Slippery Liquid-like Coatings
Hernán Barrio-Zhang, Glen McHale, Gary G. Wells +4
Siliconization is widely used as a coating technique to engineer surface properties, such as in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries to lubricate motion, ensure complet…
Superhydrophobicity of Auxetic Metamaterials
Glen McHale, Andrew Alderson, Steven Armstrong +7
Superhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually found in naturally occurring materials. In both cases,…
Bidirectional Motion of Droplets on Gradient Liquid Infused Surfaces
Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Gaby Launay, Jayne Parle +5
We demonstrate spontaneous bidirectional motion of droplets on liquid infused surfaces in the presence of a topographical gradient, in which the droplets can move either toward the…
Self-Propelled Droplet Transport on Shaped-Liquid Surfaces
Gaby Launay, Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Glen McHale +3
The transport of small quantities of liquid on a solid surface is inhibited by the resistance to motion caused by the contact between the liquid and the solid. To overcome such res…
Energy invariance in capillary systems
Elfego Ruiz-Gutiérrez, James Jian Guan, Ben Xu +3
We demonstrate the continuous translational invariance of the energy of a capillary surface in contact with reconfigurable solid boundaries. We present a theoretical approach to fi…
